Abstract: A circumplex model of affect has recently gained tentative acceptance by prominent
researchers investigating the structure of dispositional affect. The present study examines
the issue of construct validity of several existing measures of affect and their fit with
the circumplex model. A traditional multitrait-multimethod matrix approach is utilized
first, followed by a confirmatory factor analytic approach. These analyses demonstrate
that the data collected using these four scales are characterized by generally good concurrent
and discriminant validity. Furthermore, the data are in partial agreement with the
proposed circumplex model of affect. Issues for the further development of the
circumplex model and the use of these measures are discussed.
