“…In Table 2, we can see that in the current study the alpha internal consistencies of the PA scale and the NA scale are acceptably high. This is in accordance with the original version of the PANAS scales (Watson et al, 1998) and the studies carried out on different samples (Serafini, Malin-Mayor, Nich, Hunkele, & Carroll, 2016;von Humboldt et al, 2017). The scores obtained on both scales are normally distributed.…”

The present study has two goals. The first goal is to investigate whether a high need for the government-imposed security and social regulation, the acceptance of living in a dictatorship, the limitations and denial of individual freedom and the support to repressive methods and procedures are in such high mutual correlations that they form a coherent latent dimension of the Totalitarian Political Ideology (TPI). The second goal is to examine whether and which of the psychopathy traits (Interpersonal manipulation, Callous affect, Erratic lifestyle, and Antisocial behaviour) and the PANAS (Positive and Negative affect Schedule as a measure of general affectivity) underlie Totalitarian Political Ideology. The research was carried out on a convenience sample of undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Zagreb (N=386). It has been found that the Totalitarian Political Ideology is an internally coherent and reliable pattern of political orientations and values. In order to explore how psychopathic traits and positive and Negative affect are associated with the internalization of the Totalitarian Political Ideology (TPI), multiple regression analysis was conducted. Interpersonal manipulation, Callous affect and Negative affect proved to be significant predictors of the TPI scale in positive directions, whereas Erratic lifestyle was a significant predictor of the TPI scale in the negative direction. About 15% of the variance of the Totalitarian Political Ideology was explained by these personality characteristics. The findings can have both theoretical and practical contributions in understanding the endorsement of totalitarian beliefs.

“…Emotions such as enthusiasm and alertness are characteristic for PA, whilst the NA is characterized by the emotions such as lethargy and sadness. The PANAS was proved to be a reliable and valid measure of the two constructs (Craford & Henry, 2004, von Humboldt, Monteiro, & Leal, 2017.…”

“…Each segment has 10 terms in which the subject can rate from 1 to 5. Eventually, we can measure the positive and negative affect of the subject before and after any intervention [20,21]. PANAS has been widely used in the areas ranging from overall mood change in areas ranging from clinical studies involving patients as well as in the areas involving healthy individuals doing various activities such as creative work [22].…”

Introduction: Scientific evidence has established the benefits of meditation and sound vibrations on emotional and physiological health. Aim of the Study: The study explored changes in mood and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) after HSB Sound Bath Meditation on healthy individuals. The objectives of the study were to understand if a 40-minute-long seated HSB Sound Bath Meditation results in changes (a) in mood measured via Positive And Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and Abbreviated Profile of Mood States (POMS) Survey and (b) in physiological parameters, as measured by HRV. Methods: The psychological parameters were measured with PANAS (N=77) and Abbreviated POMS, (N=17). The physiology was measured with HRV parameters such as Heart Rate (HR), Stress Index (SI) and Root Mean Square of Standard Deviation (RMSSD) using the EmWave Pro device (N=15). HRV data analysis was conducted with Kubios HRV Premium and analyzed using a paired T-Test.Results: All the subjects after meditation showed improvement in Positive Affect (PA) and a reduction in Negative Affect (NA). The HRV parameters showed a trend showing overall relaxation with a significant reduction in HR, SI and an increase in RMSSD. Consistent with changes in positive, negative mood and HRV, all the participants showed a reduction in tension, anger, fatigue, depression and confusion and improvement in esteem related affect and vigor. Conclusion:The findings show that seated HSB Sound Bath Meditation session has a positive impact on moodrelated measures and physiology. Future work in this area could explore comparison with a control group and a longer study duration comprising multiple sessions.

“…At present, various versions of PANAS are available, for example, a shorter and an extended version of PANAS (e.g. Cotigă, 2012; MacKinnon et al , 1999) as well as a few others for adolescents and older adults (Huebner and Dew, 1995; von Humboldt et al , 2017).…”

“…With the mounting eminence of affect, researchers have developed scales to measure affect (e.g. Daniels, 2000; Russell and Daniels, 2018), among which the PANAS, developed by Watson et al (1988), has been widely used in different cultural settings, and it fulfils the criteria of cross-cultural validity and reliability (von Humboldt et al , 2017; Weidong et al , 2004). Such applications make it evident that PANAS, due to its robust psychometric properties, has been considered a valid and reliable instrument across cultures.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the psychometric properties of the positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS) in a sample of employees working in Indian manufacturing and service sector organisations. Design/methodology/approach The data were collected through self-administered structured questionnaire from 53 employees for the pilot study and 383 employees for the final study. For the psychometric evaluation of the PANAS, item analysis, reliability, exploratory factor analysis, convergent–discriminant validity and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. Findings Results reveal that the two-factor model of affect (positive and negative affects) is valid in the Indian manufacturing and service sector organisations. Originality/value Despite being the largest skilled labour facilitator for the work economy and second largest populated country, India lags behind in studies evaluating affect at work when compared to western nations. The present study was taken up to validate an instrument to measure affect at work in Indian manufacturing and service sector organisations, which is a new contribution in the field. Validation of this instrument would help in promoting studies on affect at work in India and comparative studies across cultures.
