“…Seeing affect as composed of two systems, each one of them categorized as high and low, leads to four different combinations beyond the two-system approach (for a point of view on two-system theories see Keren & Schul, 2009). Wilson, Gullone, and Moss (1998) have shown that there does not exist any significant correlation between the extent of positive and negative affectivity, which implies that a 'divergent validity' appears to be the case. Previous studies (Bood, Archer, & Norlander, 2004;Norlander, Bood, & Archer, 2002;Palomo et al, 2004) have modified and developed the PANAS instrument further through a subject-response based derivation of the four types of affective personalities.…”

Three studies were performed to examine positive and negative affect, stress and energy, and Type-A personality as a function of Gender and Affective profiles. In Study I, 304 university students (152 male and 152 female), in Study II, 142 pupils at upper secondary school (95 male and 47 female) and in Study III, 166 pupils at upper secondary school (84 male and 82 female) completed self-report questionnaires pertaining to Positive affect and Negative affect Scales (PANAS), stress and energy (SE), the Type A-personality scale and a Background and Health questionnaire. The results indicated gender effects by which female participants expressed a higher level of negative affect, stress and Type A-personality were found in all three studies, as well as for energy in Study I. There were marked effects of Affective profiles upon stress, energy and Type A-personality in all three studies. Regression analysis indicated that Type A-personality could be predicted from a high level of Negative Affect (Study I, II and III) as well as from high levels of stress (Study I and II). All three studies indicate a link between negative affectivity, stress and Type A-personality with consequences for the maladaptive behavioral patterns implying health hazards.

“…Wilson et al 31 indicated that there existed no significant correlations between the PA and NA scales of the Positive Affect and Negative Affect scale (PANAS) under normal conditions. Furthermore, it has been shown, using functional magnetic resonance imaging, that high PA is associated with less mental efforts and greater efficacy in neural processing of working memory in demanding tasks 32 , implying a relationship between affect, cognition and brain functioning 33 .…”

SWEDENABSTRACT -Background and Objectives: The notion that both positive and negative affect contribute not only to affective personality profiles but also to self-report estimations of both psychological and physical well-being or discomfort.Method: Two studies are described, based upon applications of psychometric and clinical instruments, including the Positive Affective and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), Stress and Energy (SE), Dispositional optimism (LOT), Locus of Control, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Perfectionism, Hospital Anxirty and Depression (HAD) and the Uppsala Sleep Inventory (USI). In Study 1, one hundred and twenty-two high school students (Gothenburg, Sweden), aged 17-19 years participated, whereas in Study 2, two hundred and eight professional office employees from a number of government agencies and corporations (Borås, Sweden), aged 27-61 years participated. Measures for HAD-anxiety and HAD-depression from five other studies of affective personality profiles were included also.Results: The results indicated marked differences in both psychological and physical well-being or discomfort due to affective personality profiles, whereby "Self-fulfilling" individuals, expressing high positive affect and low negative affect, presented markedly better health profiles than the other three types of affective personality, i.e. "Low affective", "High affective" and "Self-destructive".Conclusions: In this regard the notion of "empowerment" as a vehicle for putative reinforcements of cognitive abilities that modulate emotional systems is discussed.

“…Other putative neuropathological factors Affective Personality as Cognitive-emotional Presymptom Profiles Regulatory for Self-reported Health Predispositions and characteristics contributing to vulnerability may be associated too with affective state (Watson and Tellegen, 1985); as a consequence, both positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) may possess some degree of explanatory value (e.g., Clark and Watson, 1988), despite these scales being correlated with different factors Bood et al, 2004). Although the claim may not always be so (unpublished data), Wilson et al (1998) indicated that there existed no significant correlations between the PA and NA scales of the Positive Affect and Negative Affect scale (PANAS) under normal conditions. Nevertheless, it has been found repeatedly that NA reflects expressions of affect, such as anger, contempt, guilt, shame, fear and depressiveness, that appear to present relatively stable personality characteristics (Watson et al, 1988a,b;Spector and O´Connell, 1994) whereas PA expresses enthusiasm, activity, control and feelings of duty, associated with a positive attitude, both over time and varying circumstance (Watson et al, 1986;McCrae and Costa, 1987).…”

Three studies that examined the links between affective personality, as constructed from responses to the Positive Affect (PA) and Negative Affect (NA) Scale (PANAS), and individuals' self-report of self-esteem, intrinsic motivation and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) depression in high school students and persons in working occupations are described. Self-report estimations of several other neuropsychiatric and psychosocial variables including, the Uppsala Sleep Inventory (USI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) test, Dispositional optimism, Locus of control, the Subjective Stress Experience test (SSE) and the Stress-Energy (SE) test, were also derived. Marked effects due to affective personality type upon somatic and psychological stress, anxiety and depression, self-esteem, internal and external locus of control, optimism, stress and energy, intrinsic motivation, external regulation, identified regulation, major sleep problems, problems falling asleep, and psychophysiological problems were observed; levels of self-esteem, self-motivation and BDI-depression all produced substantial effects on health and well-being. Regression analyses indicated PA was predicted by dispositional optimism (thrice), energy (thrice), and intrinsic motivation, and counter predicted by depression (twice) and stress (twice); and NA by anxiety (twice), stress (twice), psychological stress, identified regulation, BDI depression and psychophysiological problems, and counter predicted by internal locus of control and self-esteem. BDI-depression was predicted by negative affect, major sleep problems and psychophysiological problems (Study III), self-esteem by dispositional optimism and energy, and counter predicted by anxiety, depression and stress (Study I), and intrinsic motivation by dispositional optimism, energy, PA and self-esteem (Study II). These convergent findings are interpreted from a perspective of the cognitive-emotional expressions underlying behavioural or presymptomatic profiles presenting predispositions for health or ill health.
