Quadratic Relationship

This study examined behavioral and physiological responses to manipulations of the tempo of popular music. Four familiar pop songs were manipulated at nine levels of tempo (four slower and four faster) to induce affective changes reflected in liking ratings and physiological responses. As hypothesized, there was a significant quadratic relationship between liking ratings and tempo manipulation, with liking decreasing with greater slowing or speeding up from the original tempo. A corresponding relationship between electromyography responses and tempo for the corrugator supercilii was observed and interpreted as reflecting valence differences. A quadratic relationship between cardiac inter-beat interval and tempo indicated increased attention to deviations of tempo from the norm. A positive linear relationship between skin conductance and tempo was interpreted as reflecting increased arousal with tempo. Behavioral and physiological individual difference measures were also collected. Resting-state heart rate variability (HRV) was positively correlated with variability of cardiac activity during the task, suggesting that high HRV groups may be more adaptive to their environment. Individual differences in the Affect Intensity Measure (AIM) correlated with some aspects of the behavioral ratings. This is the first study to demonstrate how changes in attitudes toward the music associated with tempo manipulations are reflected in physiological measures.

Public Self Consciousness

The present study examined the correlations of scores on the Affect Intensity Measure and the Self-consciousness Scale. Positive correlations between dispositional levels of affect intensity, private self-consciousness, and public self-consciousness were obtained for 81 undergraduate women but not for the 46 men. The results are interpreted as further evidence of the validity of the Affect Intensity Measure.

Dynamic Phenomena

This was the first study to our knowledge to examine whether dispositional scales of affect intensity and affective lability map on to corresponding momentary affective dynamics. Specifically, we assessed whether the Affect Intensity Measure (AIM) and Affective Lability Scale (ALS) are differentially associated with mean, variability, and instability of negative affect (NA) and positive affect (PA). Young adults (n = 135) completed the AIM, ALS, and 7 days of experience sampling assessments. Higher scores on the AIM were associated with variability and instability of NA and PA whereas the ALS was associated with mean levels of NA and PA. Neither the AIM nor the ALS were associated with reactivity to stressful, negative, or positive experiences in the moment. However, the AIM and ALS accounted for little variance in momentary affective dynamics and effects were generally small. Findings highlighted that static measures of dynamic phenomena poorly map onto momentary measures of affect in daily life. Theoretical and methodological implications are discussed.
