Thus, thepleasure–displeasure and perceived arousal dimensions of the circumplex modelwere assessed by the Feeling Scale and the Felt Arousal Scale , respectively. According to the circumplex model,the global affective space can be defined by two orthogonal and bipolardimensions, namely affective valence (pleasure–displeasure) and perceivedarousal (low to high). Applyingthe circumplex model to the study of nutritional manipulations is appropriatebecause of its broad scope (theoretically, providing equal coverage to pleasantand unpleasant states).Furthermore, its parsimony is advantageous as it only requires the assessmentof two affective states and therefore it is possible to obtain repeatedmeasures of on-task exercise related affect. ... |
