Abstract

Recently, Larsen and Diener identified the affect intensity construct. The present study investigated the association between individual differences in affect intensity and dimensions of emotional style. A sample of 117 subjects (55 males, 62 females) completed the Affect Intensity Measure and the Test of Emotional Styles. The Test of emotional Styles measures emotional responsiveness, emotional expressiveness, and emotional orientation. Correlational analyses confirmed that dispositional levels of affect intensity are correlated positively with all three dimensions of emotional style, thus attesting to the validity of the affect intensity construct.
