The Paramenstruum And Negative Moods In Normal Young Women, Gregory J. Boyle
The Paramenstruum And Negative Moods In Normal Young Women, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
The present study investigated the effects of depressogenic statements on 154 normal young women, in relation to the late luteal phase of the female monthly cycle (paramenstruum). The women were allocated to a depressive-induction group or to either of two non-treatment groups. Multivariate ANOVAs indicated that paramenstrual women given the depressogenic statements reported more negative post-induction mood states than did other women. Four of the 12 mood states measured by the Differential Emotions Scale (DES-IV) were significantly elevated for the paramenstrual women in the depressive-induction group only (viz. Sadness, Hostility, Fear and Shame subscales). It was concluded that paramenstrual women …
Reliability And Validity Of Izard's Differential Emotions Scale, Gregory J. Boyle
Reliability And Validity Of Izard's Differential Emotions Scale, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
Izard's Differential Emotions Scale (DES) was administered to 204 University of Delaware undergraduates under each of four imaginal mood-induction conditions (labelled: General Depression, Curiosity, Specific Depression and Anxiety) and an actual pre-exam condition. A factor analysis of DES items supported the construct validity of some subscales. A repeated-measures multiple discriminant function analysis indicated that two-thirds of the DES items discriminated between the five conditions-an extremely stringent test of item validity. It was suggested, however, that refinement of the DES should attempt to decrease item redundancy (internal consistency) by re-establishing the instrument on a broader base of adjectives descriptive of fundamental …
Effects On Academic Learning Of Manipulating Emotional States And Motivational Dynamics, Gregory J. Boyle
Effects On Academic Learning Of Manipulating Emotional States And Motivational Dynamics, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of emotionally disturbing stimuli on the learning process. A five-minute film segment depicting horrific scenes of automobile accident victims, and part of a pathologist's post-mortem of a victim, was shown to an experimental group of 69 student teachers, while a non-treatment group of 66 student teachers served as controls. The two groups were well matched on several independent variables covering the four domains of ability, personality, motivation, and mood states. The emotionally disturbing treatment produced a decrement in learning performance, but resulted in a massive 36 per cent increase in …
Validation Of The Three-Factor Optimal Arousal Model, Gregory J. Boyle
Validation Of The Three-Factor Optimal Arousal Model, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
Separate curiosity state (C-State) and anxiety state (A-State) measures were administered before and after a learning task, to 300 secondary school students. The students were randomly allocated to one of three curiosity treatment groups; Curiosity Stimulating Instructions (CSI); Neutral Instructions (NI); and Boredom Inducing Instructions (BII) respectively. Correlations between C-State and A-State scores for these treatment groups on the separate testing occasions couldn’t be accounted for by the twofactor optimal arousal model. In contrast, the three-factor optimal arousal model provided a satisfactory explanation of the obtained data.
