Repeated positive and negative affect measurements are widely administered to adults in Turkey in both empirical and clinical work. However, within-person reliability of these measures has never been tested. Test-retest coefficient, a traditional index of reliability, does not evaluate within-person reliability and therefore, an investigation regarding the assessment of both within and between person reliability for repeated measures of positive and negative affect is crucial. The present paper examines the within-person reliability of the widely used Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) in Turkish context. Two data sets were included. The first study included 196 participants, with three weeks' time interval at four time points. The second study included 41 participants, with one week time interval at thirteen time points. Within person reliability was calculated via the method recommended by Cranford et al. (2006). In the first study within-person reliability for Positive Affect was found as.80, and for Negative Affect as.79. In the second study, within-person reliability for Positive affect was found as.86, and for Negative Affect as.87. Furthermore, between-person reliability indices were calculated for each study. The PANAS had satisfactory within and between-person reliability coefficients in both studies.

Positive and negative affect schedule: A study of validity and reliability Gençöz, Tülin (2000-12-01) The aim of the present study was to study reliability and validity of Turkish version of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988) which is consisted of 20 items 10 of which is used to measure positive and other 10 to measure negative affect. Based on the data derived from 199 university students, 10 items loaded on both Positive and Negative Affect factors separately, as was anticipated. Besides studying factorial validity, internal consistencies were found as .83 and .86,...
Discriminant validity of low positive affect: is it specific to depression? Gençöz, Tülin (2002-04-19) The aim of this study was to reveal the effects of low Positive Affect on depression symptomatology. Due to the high correlations between depression and anxiety scores, it was also aimed to present a discriminative validity for these symptomatologies. The study was conducted with 8 1 university students, who were available during follow-up assessment as well. Consistent with expectations, analyses revealed that low Positive Affect predicted changes in depression symptomatology but did not predict changes in...
THE ROLE OF SENSE OF COHERENCE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE AFFECT OF TURKISH ADOLESCENTS Oztekin, Ceyda; Tezer, Esin (2009-06-01) This study investigated the role of sense of coherence and total physical activity in positive and negative affect. Participants were 376 (169 female, 206 male, and 1 missing value) student volunteers from different faculties of Middle East Technical University. Three questionnaires: Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC), Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (PAAQ), and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were administered to the students together with the demographic information sheet. Two separat...
The Relation between Rumination and Emotional Reactions to Infidelity in Romantic Relationships Onaylı, Selin; Erdur Baker, Özgür; Panos, Kordoutis (2015-05-28) The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between rumination and emotional reactions to infidelity. The sample of the study consisted of 72 participants from Turkey who reported being cheated on by their dating relationship. A Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson et al. 1988) was used to measure the reactions to infidelity and the Ruminative Response Scale (Treynor et al. 2003) was used to measure rumination. Canonical correlation analyses were utilized to determine the relationships...
Prospective evaluation of Vitamin K2, Raloxifene and their co-administration in osteoporotic rats Tasci, A. G.; BİLGİLİ, HASAN; Altunay, H.; Gecit, M. R.; Keskin, Dilek (Elsevier BV, 2011-07-17) In this study, therapeutic effects of Vitamin K2, Raloxifene and their co-administration on bone, uterus, blood and weight profiles were investigated with an ovariectomized rat model. Forty Wistar rats were divided into five groups (n = 8): Raloxifene (R), Vitamin K2 (K), Raloxifene + Vitamin K2 (R + K), ovariectomized controls (OVX) and Sham-operated controls (Sham). Treatment began 3 months after ovariectomy. Vitamin K2 and Raloxifene were administered 30 and 1.5 mg/kg/day separately and in combination fi...
