“…For example, anxiety and interest co-occur in classroom settings (Moeller, Salmela-Aro, et al, 2015;Pekrun et al, 2002). Similarly, a number of studies found both positive correlates and positive outcomes of (moderate) stress (e.g., Folkman, 2008;Folkman & Moskowitz, 2000;Hardy & Parfitt, 1991;Simmons & Nelson, 2007). Although this research mostly did not examine cooccurrence of emotions, we can speculate that the differences in outcomes can in part be due To demonstrate the unique information added by co-occurrence network analyses, we compared them with correlation analyses (RQ7, RQ10).…”

“…Moreover, anxiety can co-occur with positive emotions and pro-active coping in situations which are perceived as challenging but controllable, while anxiety co-occurs with stress and negative emotions in situations perceived as demanding but uncontrollable (Jones, Meijen, McCarthy, & Sheffield, 2009). Likewise, stress can come accompanied with positive emotions for some individuals, and with negative emotions in others (e.g., Simmons & Nelson, 2007).…”

This study revisits the structure of emotions by employing a co-occurrence network analysis. While previous studies have examined the structure of emotions primarily through inter-individual correlations, we investigated how often and which specific positive and negative emotions occur together within individuals. Two studies were conducted with high school students, one (N=21,678) using retrospective emotion measures (open-ended questions and 28 rated items) and the other (N = 471) using in-the-moment emotion measures (experience sampling).As in previous studies, positive and negative emotion ratings were negatively correlated across individuals, and this negative correlation became stronger when

“…We believe that a more complete evaluation of the effects of POB constructs on performance is best obtained by examining them in conjunction with at least one negative psychological state. Studies have supported the idea that people experience a range of both positive and negative responses simultaneously to any given demand at work (Simmons & Nelson, 2007).…”

SummarySecure attachment is a healthy attachment style that enables individuals to work autonomously as well as with others when appropriate. Secure attachments are characterized by internal regulatory mechanisms that allow individuals to be flexible and constructive in their interpersonal relationships Our model incorporates hope, trust in one's supervisor, and burnout as explanatory variables that translate the benefits of secure attachment into better supervisorrated task performance. Among 161 employees of an assisted living center and their supervisors, secure attachment had a significant, positive relationship with hope, trust, and burnout, but only trust had a significant, positive relationship with supervisor-rated performance. These results indicate that secure attachment should be considered a positive psychological strength that has important implications for working adults.

“…Debra Nelson and I have posited that an individual's response to stressors at work can be simultaneously both positive and negative, and in contrast to distress, we think of eustress as the positive response to stress (Simmons & Nelson, 2007). We treat eustress as a higher order construct composed of multiple positive indicators, much the way happiness is treated in practice.…”

Even though we are still in the very early stages of understanding characteristics of happy organizations, there is good reason to believe that organizational happiness does provide a competitive edge. The goal of this chapter is to offer a concise, evidence‐based guide on organizational happiness for practicing managers. This chapter will discuss what it means to be happy, how happiness has been measured, and the evidence on its consequences and causes. Two frameworks for explaining why happiness should matter and some recommendations for organizational characteristics to enhance happiness will also be discussed.
