“…There were weak, but statistically significant, correlations between PA and NA (rs = .21 for men and .18 for women, ps < .01). Although these positive correlations are inconsistent with those in previous research showing either negative (e.g., Watson et al, 1988) or null correlations (e.g., Pettit et al, 2001), Yamasaki, Sakai, and Uchida (2005) suggested that this tendency may be characteristic of Japanese samples. As for the correlations between affect and the four subscales in GHQ, all of the correlations between NA and the four subscales were significantly positive, while the significant correlations between PA and the subscales were limited to the two subscales of Social Dysfunction and Severe Depression in both genders, all of which were negative.…”

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between affect and both health and lifestyle factors. Japanese undergraduates (223 men and 302 women) completed the Positive and Negative Affect (PA and NA) Schedule scales, the General Health Questionnaire, and the Health Behavior Questionnaire in order to measure affect, mental and physical health, and lifestyle, respectively. These three measures were administered twice (T1 and T2), five or six weeks apart. Hierarchical regression analyses of the data showed that better T2 health status was significantly associated with lower T1 NA in men and both higher T1 PA and lower T1 NA in women. Meanwhile, lifestyle factors at T2 had few significant associations with PA and NA at T1. A number of significant interactions of PA × NA suggested that higher T1 PA was only associated with better health and lifestyle factors at T2 when T1 NA was low. The findings indicate that both PA and NA, including PA × NA interactions and gender differences, have important health implications.

“…After five weeks, participants were invited back to complete a second survey (t2) that captured their current trust perceptions, satisfaction and behavioral intentions. Five weeks was considered in Yamasaki et al (2006) as being a good compromise for a time period for longitudinal study of behavior and personality. The measurements are discussed below.…”

We examine consumers' early stage trust beliefs for effects on perceptions of information and system quality, later stage trust, satisfaction and usage intentions in the context of online health services. Using a longitudinal research design, data was collected from a sample of undergraduates during two time periods, approximately five weeks apart. Results show that trust in the website influences trust in the e-service provider at both early and later stages. Perceptions of system and information quality depend on trust, while trust and satisfaction are important to continued usage intentions. Results are important for understanding how trust interacts with IS success factors.

“…It is suggested that coping is a key factor determining ones’ adjustment, which plays a mediating role in a stress process [14]. However, with respect to affect changes, previous findings have confirmed only the role of coping in PA changes [17]. Thus, it was hypothesized that problem-focused coping would mediate changes in affect balance and PA, whereas emotion- and avoidance-focused coping would mediate NA changes.…”

Purpose This study explores changes in emotional component of subjective well-being (SWB) of patients after their first myocardial infarction (MI) and two kinds of mechanisms: attribution of positive (PA) and negative (NA) affect and a mediation effect of coping. Methods Affect and coping strategies (problem-, emotion-, and avoidance-focused) were assessed in 121 male patients (age 52.26 ± 7.08 years) a few days after the first MI and then 1 and 6 months later. The indicator of emotional SWB was affect balance, calculated as the ratio of PA to NA. Mediation was tested using the PROCESS macro. Results The affect balance changed over time, from a predominance of negativity a few days post-MI to more positive 1 and 6 months later (F 2, 119 = 21.87, p \ 0.001). The results of parallel multiple mediation showed a mediating effect of emotion-focused coping on the changes in affect balance over time. Separate analyses for PA and NA showed the same results for NA. Problem-focused coping mediated PA changes in the early post-hospitalization period. Conclusions Myocardial infarction may activate PA alongside the NA, but the predominance of PA over NA in both early and late post-hospitalization period was minimal. Affect balance appeared to be largely dependent on NA and its changes. Coping strategies partly mediated the changes in well-being, providing a basis for practical interventions.
