“…Paranoids were also found to display less evidence of strategies for aiding recall of organized-item lists, which was most apparent for the blocked-presentation format where related items occurred together. This finding was in agreement with earlier work (Neufeld, 1975(Neufeld, , 1976 indicating that paranoids tend to carry out interstimulus analysis less effectively with respect to constituent semantic dimensions. An anticipated consequence had been paranoid schizophrenics' lower performance on recall facilitated by such multidimensional synthesis as obtained here.…”

This stujly examined paranoid and nonparanoid schizophrenic performance on a battery of information processing measures spanning precategorical processing, short-tei|m memory, and long-term memory. Multivariate analyses of the multiple processing indexes revealed two performance dimensions. The first represented "processing efficiency" maximally separating the paranoids and nonpatients, with the nonparanoids falling in between. The second dimension reflected a response style of "propensity toward stating the presence of stimuli or stimulus properties," with the most extreme separation occurring between the paranoids (higher propensity) and nonparanoids. Though closer to the paranoids, the nonpatients fell between the two schizophrenic groups. Discussion draws on the bidimensional characterization of the paranoids and nonparanoids, as well as on their differential performance on individual measures.

“…The circumplex model of affective states describes four affective quadrants labelled as HAPA (high-activated positive affect or "Enthusiasm") situated in top-right quadrant, HANA (high-activated negative affect or "Anxiety" situated in top-left quadrant), LAPA (low-activated positive affect or "Comfort") situated in bottom-right quadrant, and LANA (low-activated negative affect or "Depression") (Warr et al, 2014). Variants of this model can also be found in other studies (Barrett & Russell, 1999;Bush, 1973;Dittmann, 1972;Neufeld, 1975Neufeld, , 1976Plutchik, 1991;Remington et al, 2000;Van Katwyk, Fox, Spector, & Kelloway, 2000;Warr, 1987Warr, , 1990.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of the circumplex model of emotions and its relatedness with work attitudes (i.e., work engagement, job satisfaction, burnout, and workaholism). Positive affects relate to specific attitudes that enhance individuals' wellbeing (i.e., work engagement and job satisfaction) while negative emotions emerge into feelings of burnout and workaholism. The questionnaires were to a convenient sample of 178 employees. The present study approaches the proposed hypotheses as follows: first, we have conducted a principal component analysis (PCA) to determine the number of components in which affective descriptors load. Second, the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to estimate the degree of fitness of our gathered data and the 4-factor model of subjective well-being. Third, multidimensional scaling was used to map the similarity between affective descriptors as well as the circular order of affects. Last, to investigate the relatedness of affective descriptors with work attitudes, Pearson correlation has been used. Findings of our study supported the circumplex model of affects as well as their relatedness with job attitudes. Theoretical and practical contributions are also discussed.

“…In another line of research, two studies explicitly examined schizophrenia patients' similarity judgments of affective words (Neufeld, 1975(Neufeld, , 1976 using an individual difference multidimensional scaling (MDS) technique (INDSCAL). Overall, patients' similarity judgments were more similar than dissimilar to nonpatients' judgments, and tended to yield valence and arousal dimensions (along with a dominance-type dimension).…”

On the Broad Applicability of the Affective Circumplex

Studies of affective experience are guided by the assumption that the structure of affect generalizes across people. Yet this assumption has not been tested among educationally and economically diverse community residents or among individuals with psychopathology. This study explicitly examined the broad applicability of the valence-arousal circumplex and whether schizophrenia patients and nonpatients have comparable knowledge structures of affective phenomena. Patients and nonpatients completed similarity ratings of 120 pairs of affect words. Similarity judgments were analyzed separately for each group using a multidimensional scaling procedure, and solutions were compared. Results revealed the same two-dimensional valence-arousal solution for schizophrenia patients and nonpatients, although there were subtle differences between the groups. These findings provide additional evidence that the circumplex model is a useful formalism for representing affective phenomena across diverse populations, and they bolster confidence in existing interpretations of schizophrenia patients' reports of affective experience.
