“…However, while relationships with the Big Five and affect spin and pulse have been established, there is a lack of research examining the differential relationships that spin and pulse have with outcome variables in comparison to those of the Big Five. Given that the burgeoning empirical literature on affect variability has focused almost exclusively on spin without much attention to pulse (e.g., Beal et al, 2013;Park, 2015;Clark et al, 2016), an important contribution of the present study is that we comparatively examined the unique relationships of both spin and pulse with task-focused effort and performance.…”

“…Even in cases when individuals try to persist in meeting task demands, the unpredictability associated with high affect variability can lead to a reduction in task-focused effort as individuals re-direct cognitive resources to regulating their emotional swings (Beal and Ghandour, 2011;Park, 2015). Prior research has linked emotion control to successful acquisition and adaptive performance (Bell and Kozlowski, 2008;cf.…”

Keeping Calm and Carrying On: Relating Affect Spin and Pulse to Complex Skill Acquisition and Adaptive Performance

The purpose of this laboratory study involving repeated measures of emotion as 214 undergraduates (58.4% male) learned a complex video game was to address the need for empirical research on dynamic personality constructs by examining how two aspects of affect variability-spin and pulse-explain variance in skill acquisition and adaptive performance. Spin refers to within-person fluctuations in affect pleasantness and activation potential. Pulse refers to within-person fluctuations in affect intensity. Despite research showing high affect variability reflects a personality profile of heighted reactivity to emotionally charged events and poor adjustment, little empirical research has examined their relationships with behavioral outcomes, much less aspects of skilled performance. Compared to traditional measures of personality, which yield weak effects for predicting acquisition and adaptive performance, measures of affect variability hold considerable promise because they, like performance, reflect dynamic within-person phenomena. Accordingly, the main question addressed by this study was whether spin and pulse incrementally explain acquisition and adaptive performance beyond Big Five measures of personality. In general, we expected harmful, incremental effects for both spin and pulse, and hypothesized two mechanisms for these harmful effects: (1) by undermining effort and (2) by undermining the effort-performance relationship. Using a task-change paradigm and discontinuous growth modeling that disentangled adaptation from acquisition, results showed that affect variability, independent of the Big Five, produced harmful effects via both hypothesized mechanisms. Participants higher in affect spin and pulse showed less sustained effort across performance sessions and exhibited lower performance. Furthermore, the harmful effects of spin and pulse were stronger in adaptation compared to acquisition, with pulse showing stronger direct effects on performance during adaptation and spin moderating the effort-performance relationship such that effort was only beneficial during adaptation for those lower in spin. In light of these results, one might question the common advice "keep calm and carry on," which may not be viable for persons high in affect variability. Accordingly, results are discussed in terms of the need to better understand the specific mediating processes by which high affect variability undermines success across a variety of learning and performance contexts.

“…Positive affect was evaluated in terms of how “happy,” “alert,” “proud,” “enthusiastic,” “excited,” “calm,” “satisfied,” “peaceful,” “content,” and “relaxed” respondents felt during the day. Park (2015) translated this scale from English to Korean and used it to study the role of affect spin in the relationships between proactive personality and career decisions. In the present study, participants were instructed to “Rate each word in terms of how much you felt that way today.” These daily positive affect measures started with the phrase, “Today, I felt …” The response format was a 7‐point Likert‐type scale ranging from 1 ( not at all ) to 7 ( very much ).…”

“…Daily ratings began 1 week later after the introductory session, after the text message schedule was set up. Following Park's (2015) study, participants were sent the following text message in the morning on the first day: "Today is the first day of rating your affective experience and attitude toward career decisions; the rating will continue for the following 21 days. You will receive a text message at 9 p.m. each day."…”

The authors investigated the impact of emotional intelligence on 2 career decision variables: daily career decision self‐efficacy and daily career choice anxiety. They also examined the mediating effects of daily positive affect on these variables. At baseline, 103 Korean undergraduate and graduate students completed questionnaires about emotional intelligence. Using a daily diary method, the authors also collected data on participants’ daily positive affect, daily career decision self‐efficacy, and daily career choice anxiety for 21 consecutive days. Hierarchical linear model analyses indicated that emotional intelligence predicted daily career decision self‐efficacy and daily career choice anxiety. These findings suggest that fostering emotional intelligence and daily positive affect could help students determine their future career. For individuals experiencing difficulty in the career decision process, counselors may foster career decision self‐efficacy and reduced career choice anxiety via enhancing clients’ emotional intelligence and daily positive affect.

“…Park (2015) finn ein positiv samvariasjon mellom alder og proaktiv personlegdom, men verken Li (2010) eller Seibert et al (1999) kan dokumentera ein signifikant korrelasjon mellom eldsjelfaktor og alder. Dette kan skuldast at utvala ofte har lita aldersspreiing.…”

Kapittel 20 Eldsjeler i framtidsfylket Kven er dei og korleis få fleire av dei til Sogn og Fjordane?TORBJØRN ÅRETHUN, JON GUNNAR NESSE OG OVE OKLEVIK SAMANDRAG Datamaterialet er henta frå ei undersøking av 524 personar registrert på ei nettside administrert av organisasjonen Framtidsfylket i Sogn og Fjordane. Analysane viste at personar med høg eldsjelfaktor har større entreprenørlyst enn andre, og at menn har høgare eldsjelfaktor enn kvinner. Personar oppvaksne og busette i Sogn og Fjordane har monaleg laegre eldsjelfaktor enn andre. Respondentar med høg eldsjelfaktor legg betydeleg vekt på arbeid-og karriererelaterte attraksjonsfaktorar som gode karrieremulegheiter både for seg sjølv og for ektefelle/partnar, eit variert naeringsliv og gode kommunikasjonar når dei skal velje framtidig bustad og arbeidsplass.NØKKELORD eldsjeler, eldsjelfaktor, proaktiv personlegdom, attraksjonsfaktorar, karriereanker.ABSTRACT A QuestBack survey was conducted among 524 individuals registered on a web-site run by Framtidsfylket. Our analysis showed that entrepreneurial intentions and proactive personality (PAP) were positively correlated and that men outperformed women regarding PAP and that PAP increases with increasing age. People born, raised and, for the moment, living in Sogn og Fjordane have significantly lower PAP than other respondents. The analysis showed that individual with a proactive personality put considerable emphasis on career and business opportunities, both for themselves and for spouse/partner, when choosing future place of residing.
