In order to answer the question “What’s right with people?” Positive
Psychology aims to study the human qualities as well as promoting their positive functioning. The positive and negative affect are studied by the proposed approach and refer to the result of the intensity and frequency of experienced emotions. With the aim of measuring the affects in specific areas, namely ‘I’, ‘Family’, ‘Friends’ and ‘Work / Finance’, this study used the modified Zanon Scale Affects to detect differences in measures of affect. Participants were in the number of 142 people between 15 and 87 years old, with 7.74 average grade assigned for life in general. Among the main results, significant differences were found between genders for negative affect and positive affect, and with respect to age, there was a statistically significant negative affect toward work. |
