Most models of affect suggest either inverse or null associations between positivity and negativity. Recent work (e.g., Larsen, McGraw, & Cacioppo, 2001; Zautra, Reich, Davis, Potter, & Nicolson, 2000) has highlighted situations that sometimes lead to mixed positive-negative affect. Focusing on the counterpart to these situational factors, we explore the individual-difference tendency towards m...

Syllogism is a type of deductive reasoning involving quantified statements. The syllogistic reasoning scheme in the classical Aristotelian framework involves three crisp term sets and four linguistic quantifiers, for which the main support is the linguistic properties of the quantifiers. A number of fuzzy approaches for defining an approximate syllogism have been proposed for which the main sup...

Emotional states of individuals, also known as moods, are central to the expression of thoughts, ideas and opinions, and in turn impact attitudes and behavior. As social media tools are increasingly used by individuals to broadcast their day-to-day happenings, or to report on an external event of interest, understanding the rich ‘landscape’ of moods will help us better interpret and make sense ...

It is generally accepted that it is a mistake that Aristotle ignore the moods of the fourth figure in his syllogism.

The analysis table provided in the paper will contribute...
