PSYC2242 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Predictive Validity, Internal Consistency, Milgram Experiment
Document Summary
Sheet about states how you happen to be feeling in a given moment. Designed based on a particular theory (that we will talk about today) . Happy (6), skip the next item, then reverse direction and start on right-hand side with annoyed. Do the same for the next bit. One question is whether a test of any kind is any good. Reliability refers to the consistency of measurement. If you want to know your weight and the scale says 112 pounds and you look away and step on again and it says 146 pounds, then you know that something is wrong it is not reliable. We have the words emotions and mood and feeling in everyday life, but they are a bit vague and not quite defined. Core affect: a neurophysiological state accessible to consciousness as primitive feelings seen in moods and emotions. That is what the scale above ^^ attempts to measure.
