The Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ; A. Tellegen, 1982, in press) provides for a comprehensive analysis of personality at both the lower order trait and broader structural levels. Its higher order dimensions of Positive Emotionality, Negative Emotionality, and Constraint embody affect and temperament constructs, which have been conceptualized in psychobiological terms. The MPQ t...

A gyrator is a passive, linear, lossless, two-port electrical network element proposed in 1948 by Bernard D. H. Tellegen as a hypothetical fifth linear element after the resistor, capacitor, inductor and ideal transformer. Unlike the four conventional elements, the gyrator is non-reciprocal. Gyrators permit network realizations of two-(or-more)-port devices which cannot be realized with just th...

The authors tested fluctuation analyses (DFA) of EEGs upon auditory stimulation in waking and hypnotic states as related to topography and hypnotizability. They administered the Hypnotic Induction Profile (HIP), Dissociation Experience Scale, and Tellegen Absorption Scale to 10 healthy volunteers and measured subjects' EEGs while the subjects listened to sounds, either selecting or ignoring ton...

We propose an efficient eigensolver for computing densely distributed spectrum of the two-dimensional transmission eigenvalue problem (TEP) which is derived from Maxwell’s equations with Tellegen media and the transverse magnetic mode. The discretized governing equations by the standard piecewise linear finite element method give rise to a large-scale quadratic eigenvalue problem (QEP). Our num...

This research focuses on the non-verbal communication of nonandroid robots by comparing the results produced by three different emotional models: Russell’s circumplex model of affect, Tellegen-Watson-Clark model and PAD scale. The relationship between the motion of the robot and the perceived emotion is developed. The motion parameters such as velocity and acceleration are changed systematicall...

The relationship between the MMPI-2 restructured clinical scales and the original clinical scales was evaluated using an outpatient clinical sample (N = 150). Similar patterns of correlations to those reported by Tellegen et al. in 2003, such as high correlations between the restructured scales and their original scale counterparts and lower intercorrelations among the restructured scales than ...

This article shows that fundamental aspects of the structure of momentary affect are similar in Japanese and Canadian societies. We developed questionnaire scales in Japanese in four different formats for assessing self-reported momentary affect. Scales can be scored for dimensions defined by Feldman Barrett and Russell (1998), Thayer (1996), Larsen and Diener (1992), and Watson and Tellegen (1...

The present study investigated the relationship among different kinds of immersive or involving activities: videogaming (VG), psychological absorption, and daydreaming styles. Involvement with VG was ascertained through a new measure, the Videogame Experience Questionnaire (VEQ). Participants (N = 74) also completed the Tellegen Absorption Scale and the Short Imaginal Processes Inventory. Facto...

This work examines the association between personality dimensions (extraversion and neuroticism) and subjective well-being. Subjective well-being is associated both with extraversion and neuroticism, and currently, neuroticism is generally considered the more important. A total of 368 students from the University of Rovira i Virgili completed the Extraversion and Neuroticism subscales of the re...

According to one hypothesis, self-report measures of narcissism help describe a psychological continuum related to self-esteem. Most of the previous support for this idea appeared in studies of undergraduates responding to the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI; Raskin & Hall, 1981) along with other self-report instruments. In this project, results consistent with the continuum hypothesis ...
