The measurement of affect is often of central interest in adolescent research. Very few studies have investigated the factor structure underlying adolescent responses to the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, with mixed results. Only two studies reported on the trait version: one in Florida, the other in Chile. This study compared a range of prominent models to capture responses from adolescent boys from grades 7 to 12 in Australia (N = 1431) employing confirmatory factor analyses. Models included two, three, and a recently proposed bifactor model. While most models showed reasonable fit compared to a one-factor solution, cross-loading of the item feeling "strong" enhanced fit to the data. In the end, interpretation and parsimony advocate for the adoption of the uncorrelated two-factor Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) model for representing general positive and negative affectivity in boys.
在青少年研究中，情感测量通常是研究的核心。很少有研究调查青少年对正性和负性情绪量表反应背后的因素结构，结果不一。只有两项研究报告了特质版本：一项在佛罗里达，另一项在智利。本研究通过验证性因素分析比较了一系列突出的模型，以捕捉来自澳大利亚 7 至 12 年级的青少年男孩的反应（N=1431）。模型包括二因素、三因素和最近提出的双因素模型。虽然与单因素模型相比，大多数模型的拟合度都比较合理，但项目“感觉强烈”的交叉负荷提高了对数据的拟合度。最后，为了便于解释和简化，我们主张采用不相关的双因素正性和负性情绪量表（PANAS）模型来表示男孩的一般正性和负性情感。
