Abstract
Ss were asked to cite personal examples of experiences involving high, moderate, and low levels of activation and to describe each of these experiences in terms of 132 adjectives and adjectival phrases. These data were subjected to varimax factor analyses and 12 interpretable high-, 9 moderate-, and 5 low-activation factors were extracted. The relevance of these results to activation theory and to Wolf's (1967) analysis was discussed.
