TLDR
A 12-Point Affect Circumplex (12-PAC) model of Core Affect was developed that is finer grained than previously available and that integrates major dimensional models of mood and emotion.
Abstract
Core Affect is a state accessible to consciousness as a single simple feeling (feeling good or bad, energized or enervated) that can vary from moment to moment and that is the heart of, but not the whole of, mood and emotion. In four correlational studies (Ns 535, 190, 234, 395), a 12-Point Affect Circumplex (12-PAC) model of Core Affect was developed that is finer grained than previously available and that integrates major dimensional models of mood and emotion. Self-report scales in three response formats were cross-validated for Core Affect felt during current and remembered moments. A technique that places any external variable into the 12-PAC showed that 29 of 38 personality scales and 30 of 30 mood scales are significantly related to Core Affect, but not in a way that revealed its basic dimensions.

"Cognitive, social, and physiological determinants of emotional state": Erratum

TL;DR: The problem of which cues, internal or external, permit a person to label and identify his own emotional state has been with us since the days that James first tendered his doctrine that "the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact".

The relation between valence and arousal in subjective experience.

TL;DR: It is shown that on average, there is a weak but consistent V-shaped relation of arousal as a function of valence, but there is large variation at the individual level, so that valence and arousal can in principle show a variety of relations depending on person or circumstances.

The Measurement of Affect, Mood, and Emotion: A Guide for Health-Behavioral Research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a three-step process to select a measure of distinct states and a domain-specific measurement for the Gordian knot of affective states, which they use to untangle the terminological Gordian knots.

Recovery from work-related effort: A meta-analysis

TL;DR: The authors examined the antecedents and outcomes of four recovery experiences: psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery, and control, and found that psychological detachment after work has a stronger negative relationship with fatigue than relaxation or control experiences, whereas control experiences after work have a stronger positive relationship with vigor than detachment or relaxation experiences.

Development and validation of brief measures of positive and negative affect: The PANAS scales.

TL;DR: Two 10-item mood scales that comprise the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) are developed and are shown to be highly internally consistent, largely uncorrelated, and stable at appropriate levels over a 2-month time period.

Comparative fit indexes in structural models

TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.

Behavioral inhibition, behavioral activation, and affective responses to impending reward and punishment: The BIS/BAS Scales

TL;DR: In this paper, self-report scales to assess dispositional BIS and behavioral activation system (BAS) sensitivities were created, and a situation in which Ss anticipated a punishment was created.

How do you measure the mood circumplex model?

The mood circumplex model can be measured using self-report scales in three response formats, such as the 12-Point Affect Circumplex (12-PAC) model.
