This self-assessment is designed to help you estimate your dispositional mood, that is, your general emotional tendency based on your personality. The four dispositional mood categories created in this scale are positive energy, relaxation, negative arousal, and tiredness. These four categories are distinguished in two ways: (1) positive affectivity versus negative affectivity and (2) high activation and low activation. Thus, the four subscales are consistent with the affect circumplex model shown in the textbook. The only difference is that this scale measures your emotional personality rather than emotions in a specific setting.

Your averaged score was 3.2.

Positive energy

People who score high on positive energy have positive affectivity and high activation. Positive affectivity is the tendency to experience positive emotional states. It is very similar to extroversion, a personality trait depicting people who are outgoing, talkative, sociable, and assertive. Positive energy also includes high activation, meaning that people who score high on this scale experience more energizing or motivating positive emotions. Scores on this scale range from 1 to 5. From a sample of hospital employees, the average score was 3.0.

People who score high on relaxation have positive affectivity and low activation. Positive affectivity is the tendency to experience positive emotional states. It is very similar to extroversion, a personality trait depicting people who are outgoing, talkative, sociable, and assertive. Relaxation also includes low activation, meaning that people who score high on this scale experience more passive (less energizing) positive emotions. Scores on this scale range from 1 to 5. From a sample of hospital employees, the average score was 2.6.
