Abstract

IN ENGLISH: Affect is involved in many psychological phenomena, but a descriptive structure, long sought, has been elusive. Valence and arousal are fundamental, and a key question-the focus of the present study-is the relationship between them. Valence is sometimes thought to be independent of arousal, but, in some studies (representing too few societies in the world) arousal was found to vary with valence. One common finding is that arousal is lowest at neutral valence and increases with both positive and negative valence: a symmetric V-shaped relationship. In the study reported here of self-reported affect during a remembered moment (N = 8,590), we tested the valence-arousal relationship in 33 societies with 25 different languages. The two most common hypotheses in the literature-independence and a symmetric V-shaped relationship-were not supported. With data of all samples pooled, arousal increased with positive but not negative valence. Valence accounted for between 5% (Finland) and 43% (China Beijing) of the variance in arousal. Although there is evidence for a structural relationship between the two, there is also a large amount of variability in this relation. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Afekt je uključen u mnoge psihološke fenomene, ali njegova je deskriptivna struktura, dugo tražena, još uvijek nedostižna. Valencija i uzbuđenje su temeljni, a fokus ove studije je na ključnom pitanju, a to je njihov međusobni odnos. Ponekad se smatra da je valencija neovisna o uzbuđenju, ali u nekim studijama (koje predstavljaju premalo društava u svijetu) otkriveno je da uzbuđenje varira s valencijom. Uobičajeno otkriće je da je uzbuđenje najniže kod neutralne valencije i da se povećava s pozitivnom i negativnom valencijom, što predstavlja simetričnu povezanost u obliku slova V. U ovdje objavljenoj studiji o samoprocijenjenom afektu tijekom zapamćenog trenutka (N = 8 590), testirali smo odnos valencije i uzbuđenja u 33 društva s 25 različitih jezika. Dvije najčešće hipoteze u literaturi - neovisnost i simetričan odnos u obliku slova V - nisu podržane. Uz objedinjene podatke svih uzoraka, uzbuđenje je poraslo s pozitivnom, ali ne i negativnom valencijom. Valencija je činila između 5% (Finska) i 43% (Kina Peking) varijance u uzbuđenju. Iako postoje dokazi za strukturalni odnos između njih, postoji i velika količina varijabilnosti u tom odnosu.
