Question

The Affect Intensity Measure (AIM) was developed as a questionnaire measure of affect intensity or emotional variability and volatility. . Identify three articles published in the last five years that use the AIM to assess affect intensity, and investigate the relationships between affect intensity and some other individual difference variable. How relevant to our lives are their results

can you pleas help me with this .

thank you

can you pleas add the refrences

Answer 1

The American Psychological Association states that the correlation between the AIM and present concerns is as high as .41 where that of long term goals is .34. This means that people who have an emotional reaction sooner than others tend to be relatively more concerned about present situations rather than long term goals. A latest studyin the year 2017 shows the impact of affect intensity on various domains and the versatality of the tool in itself. The results showed that all of the multidimensional AIM models were superior to Larsen’s original 40-item uni-dimensional model, on all the fit indices. The best-fitting model was a newly derived three-factor model, based on 27 items resulting in the factors Positive Affectivity, Negative Intensity, and Negative reactivity. Validation of this model in a community sample of 208 adults clearly showed different correlational patterns between negative intensity and negative reactivity, on the one hand, and positive affectivity, on the other, which demonstrates the value of treating affect intensity as a multidimensional construct.
