“…As a result of the increased association between extraversion and positive affect and neuroticism and negative affect with increasing age (Wilson and Gullome, 1999), the results of the present study may to some degree be an artefact of the age range employed -future research of a similar nature using older age ranges is necessary to confirm this. A further feature of adolescence is the increased importance of friendship and sociability (Sullivan, 1952;Brown, 2003), which may have resulted in an inflated measure of the sociability aspects of extraversion as compared with post-adolescent age ranges.…”

A B S T R AC T The aim of this study was to ascertain the nature of the interaction between the affective value of musical distraction, personality type and performance on the cognitive tasks of reading comprehension, free recall, mental arithmetic and verbal reasoning in children aged 11-12 years. It was hypothesized that the cognitive performance of extraverts would be significantly poorer when in the presence of background music that has a negatively affective value than when in the presence of background music that has a positively affective value. It was predicted that the converse of this would be true of introverts and neurotic personality types. Although few significant results were found in support of the central hypothesis, several results supported theoretical assumptions and showed clear trends that warrant further investigation.

“…One meta-analysis found that extraversion correlated 0.37 with positive affect (Lucas & Fujita, 2000). A separate review of the literature found that trait neuroticism correlates strongly with trait negative affect (r = 0.33-0.65; Wilson & Gullone, 1999).…”

Are fluctuations in personality states more than fluctuations in affect?

People fluctuate in their behavior as they go about their daily lives, but little is known about the processes underlying these fluctuations. In two ecological momentary assessment studies (Ns = 124, 415), we examined the extent to which negative and positive affect accounted for the within-person variance in Big Five states. Participants were prompted six times a day over six days (Study 1) or four times a day over two weeks (Study 2) to report their recent thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Multilevel modeling results indicated that negative and positive affect account for most, but not all, of the within-person variance in personality states. Importantly, situation variables predicted variance in some personality states even after accounting for fluctuations in affect, indicating that fluctuations in personality states may be more than fluctuations in state affect.

“…Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale: 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 5 (extremely). Extensive and adequate reliability and validity data have been reported for the PANAS scales (see, e.g., MacKinnon et al, 1999;Melvin & Molloy, 2000;Wilson & Gullone, 1999). As with the BDI-II, disturbances in affect have been associated with at-risk behaviors (see, e.g., Orbach, Bar-Joseph, & Dror, 1990;Rivers, 2001).…”

A preliminary validation of the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI) inventory with normal adolescent samples

The present study evaluated the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI; Osman, Gutierrez, Kopper, Barrios, & Chiros, 1998) inventory in a sample of high-school youths. The PANSI is designed as a measure of risk and protective factors related to suicidal behavior. Participants (114 boys and 103 girls) completed the PANSI and other self-report instruments. Results of the confirmatory factor analyses supported adequate fit of the 2-factor oblique model to the sample data. Both factor scales attained adequate levels of reliability. Boys and girls did not differ in their responses to the PANSI scales. The PANSI scale scores were associated with scores from related measures. Logistic-regression analyses were used to evaluate the contributions of the PANSI scale scores to differentiate between the study groups. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses, using data from the psychiatric suicide risk and high-school control youths, were used to identify cutoff scores of 1.63 and 3.33 for the PANSI-negative and PANSI-positive scales, respectively.
