Sažetak
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of affect intensity and frequency with mean level and variability of positive and negative affect as well as Eysenck's personality traits. The results obtained indicate that the measures of affect intensity and frequency are significantly linked with mean level and variability of positive and negative affect. The results of regression analyses demonstrate that the measures of affect intensity and frequency are in fact a combination of mean level and variability of positive and negative affect. Regarding Eysenck's personality traits, only psychoticism is significantly negatively linked with positive affect intensity, while neuroticism and psychoticism are significantly negatively linked with frequency. The results obtained are discussed with regard to dimensions of temperament. Some problems connected with measurement of affect intensity and inter-emotion comparison of intensity have been underlined.
