Abstract
Two sets of self-evaluative mood adjective scales were factored to yield mood variation patterns over a 30-day period. Each set of data produced factors of psychoticism, neuroticism (anxiety), and control. Although the psychoticism trait factor has been described recently in detail by Eysenck and Eysenck (1976), it has not been previously reported as a state factor.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
