Cilj ovoga rada bio je testirati postavke Dinamičkoga modela
afekta, prema kojemu je odnos ugodnih i neugodnih afektivnih
stanja promjenjiv, ovisno o kontekstualnim čimbenicima
vezanima uz složenost procesiranja informacija. Model smo
provjeravali analizom intraindividualnih promjena u odnosu
ugodnoga i neugodnoga temeljnog afekta, u funkciji stupnja
percipiranoga stresa. Podaci su prikupljeni metodom
uzorkovanja doživljaja kroz dvije dnevničke studije, u kojima su
sudionice nakon dobivenoga signala, više puta na dan u
nekoliko dana bilježile svoja trenutačna afektivna stanja i
procjene situacije u raznim trenucima u svakodnevnom životu.
Analize su provedene na uzorku doživljaja iz 2879 točaka
mjerenja, prikupljenih od 70 sudionica raznih studijskih grupa
(Studija 1) te na uzorku doživljaja iz 3284 točke mjerenja,
prikupljenih od 50 studentica psihologije (Studija 2). Rezultati
višerazinskih analiza pokazali su isti trend u objema provedenim
studijama – u stresnijim situacijama prosječni odnos ugodnih i
neugodnih afektivnih stanja mijenja se prema većim negativnim
vrijednostima. Nalazi ovog istraživanja pružaju potvrdu
Dinamičkom modelu afekta.The paper aimed to test the Dynamic model of affect which
postulates that the relationship between pleasant and
unpleasant affective states depends on contextual factors
related to the complexity of information processing. The
model was tested analysing intraindividual changes in the
relationship between pleasant and unpleasant core affect, as
a function of perceived stress. Data was collected using the
experience sampling method in two diary studies. After
receiving a signal, participants recorded their current
affective states and appraisals of the current situation,
several times a day within a few days. Analyses were
conducted on a sample of experiences from 2879
measurement points, recorded by 70 miscellaneous students
(Study 1), and on a sample of experiences from 3284
measurement points, recorded by 50 psychology students
(Study 2). The results of multilevel analyses showed the same
trend in both studies – in more stressful situations the
average relationship between pleasant and unpleasant
affective experiences changes toward higher negative values.
The findings support the Dynamic model of affect
