متن کاملAffect Intensity: Separating Intensity and Frequency in Repeatedly Measured Affect
E. Diener, R. J. Larsen, S. Levine, and R. A. Emmons (1985) distinguished between intensity and frequency as separable components in repeatedly measured affect. In this article, an improved way of differentiating intensity and frequency of affect is proposed that permits one to measure affect intensity separately for each emotion of interest. The results of 3 studies using this method provide f...
متن کاملGlobal surface ultraviolet radiation intensity may modulate the clinical and immunologic expression of autoimmune muscle disease.
OBJECTIVE To determine if geoclimatic factors may influence the nature and frequency of dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis, and associated autoantibodies around the world. METHODS We assessed, in the first global evaluation of these conditions, the relationship between 13 geoclimatic variables that may modulate disease and the relative proportion of DM and its associated autoantibody anti-Mi-...
