Despite contrary empirical evidence, models attempting to explain those phenomena, individual differences have often been disregarded. The authors report on 2 studies which that shortcoming was addressed. In Experiment 1, participants (N= 520) completed a large number cognitive-ability tests. Results indicated provide meaningful source...

Valence and arousal are fundamental, key question-the focus of the present study-is relationship between them. sometimes thought to be independent arousal, but, some studies (representing too few societies world) was found vary with valence. One common finding that lowest at neutral valence increases both positive negative valence: symmetric V-shaped relationship. In study reported...

However, biases consistently contributed incrementally to their prediction, with...
