The circumplex model of affect: an integrative approach to affective neuroscience, cognitive development, and psychopathology
TLDR
It is proposed that basic emotion theories no longer explain adequately the vast number of empirical observations from studies in affective neuroscience, and it is suggested that a conceptual shift is needed in the empirical approaches taken to the study of emotion and affective psychopathologies.Abstract:
The circumplex model of affect proposes that all affective states arise from cognitive interpretations of core neural sensations that are the product of two independent neurophysiological systems. This model stands in contrast to theories of basic emotions, which posit that a discrete and independent neural system subserves every emotion. We propose that basic emotion theories no longer explain adequately the vast number of empirical observations from studies in affective neuroscience, and we suggest that a conceptual shift is needed in the empirical approaches taken to the study of emotion and affective psychopathologies. The circumplex model of affect is more consistent with many recent findings from behavioral, cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, and developmental studies of affect. Moreover, the model offers new theoretical and empirical approaches to studying the development of affective disorders as well as the genetic and cognitive underpinnings of affective processing within the central nervous system.read more

A meta-analysis of 25 years of mood-creativity research: Hedonic tone, activation, or regulatory focus?
TL;DR: This meta-analysis synthesized 102 effect sizes reflecting the relation between specific moods and creativity revealing that positive moods produce more creativity than mood-neutral controls, and negative, deactivating moods were not associated with creativity, but negative, activating moods with an avoidance motivation and a prevention focus were associated with lower creativity.

TL;DR: Optogenetic manipulations indicate that the hypothalamus plays an integral role to instantiate emotion states, and is not simply a passive effector of upstream emotion centers.

Hedonic tone and activation level in the mood-creativity link: toward a dual pathway to creativity model.
TL;DR: A dual pathway to creativity model is developed and tested, arguing that activating moods lead to more creative fluency and originality than do deactivating moods and that enhanced cognitive flexibility when tone is positive and because of enhanced persistence whentone is negative.

The impact of job crafting on job demands, job resources, and well-being.
TL;DR: It is concluded that employee job crafting has a positive impact on well-being and that employees therefore should be offered opportunities to craft their own jobs.

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.

An argument for basic emotions
TL;DR: This work has shown that not only the intensity of an emotion but also its direction may vary greatly both in the amygdala and in the brain during the course of emotion regulation.

Core Affect and the Psychological Construction of Emotion
TL;DR: At the heart of emotion, mood, and any other emotionally charged event are states experienced as simply feeling good or bad, energized or enervated, which influence reflexes, perception, cognition, and behavior.
