Researchers commonly asses one’s emotional state by using the PANAS (positive-affect-negative-affect) Scale. This scale allows researchers to capture both positive and negative dimensions of emotional experience. Assume I have asked you to distribute a questionnaire to your classmates after they have taken their midterm to measure the emotional state they were in while taking the exam. Your job is to: (a) Construct an 8 item PANAS scale using 4 positive and 4 negative scale items to measure your classmates emotions while having taken this BB mid-term exam. (b) Do you think this is a good scale to use in this circumstance? Why/Why not
