Repeatedly capturing individuals' emotions is challenging in organizational settings, especially for low-literacy groups, and existing pictorial scales cover arousal only narrowly. We therefore developed the Highly Dynamic and Reusable Picture-based Scale Plus (HDRPS+), an optimized successor to HDRPS that measures valence and arousal simultaneously.
Three sub-studies were conducted. (1) Picture pool construction: 20 thematic images were created to span the affective space. (2) Picture screening: crowdsourced ratings anchored each image's valence -arousal coordinates. (3) Validation: a 7-day diary study with 442 participants (age 13-69, M = 27.06) tested reliability and validity.
HDRPS+ achieved good user retention, with 80.3 % of participants providing data on at least five days. It also showed acceptable stability (consistency = 0.69 valence, 0.65 arousal) without materially influencing the affect it is intended to measure. Correlations with the Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) confirmed concurrent validity (r = 0.63 for valence; 0.52 for arousal), while all coefficients with PANAS were < 0.45, supporting discriminant validity. Participants judged the scale accurate or very accurate in 78 % of cases, and indirect checks (vs. SAM) indicated reduced social_desirability bias.
HDRPS+ is low_cost, quick, and well_tolerated, enabling continuous affect tracking in diverse organizational settings. Future work should keep refining emotional granularity, broaden application formats, and test cross_cultural use. HDRPS+ images with normative scores are available at https://osf.io/d4wcn.
在组织环境中反复捕捉个体的情绪具有挑战性，尤其是对于低文化素养群体而言，而且现有的图片量表仅狭隘地涵盖了唤醒度。因此，我们开发了高度动态且可重复使用的图片量表升级版（HDRPS+），它是HDRPS的优化后继版本，可同时测量效价和唤醒度。
进行了三项子研究。（1）图片库构建：创建了20张主题图片以涵盖情感空间。（2）图片筛选：通过众包评分确定每张图片的效价-唤醒度坐标。（3）验证：对442名参与者（年龄13 - 69岁，M = 27.06）进行了为期7天的日记研究，以测试其信度和效度。
HDRPS+实现了良好的用户留存率，80.3%的参与者至少在五天内提供了数据。它还显示出可接受的稳定性（一致性：效价为0.69，唤醒度为0.65），且不会对其旨在测量的情感产生实质性影响。与自我评估人体模型（SAM）的相关性证实了同时效度（效价r = 0.63；唤醒度r = 0.52），而与积极和消极情绪量表（PANAS）的所有系数均<0.45，支持区分效度。参与者在78%的情况下认为该量表准确或非常准确，间接检验（与SAM相比）表明社会期望偏差有所降低。
HDRPS+成本低、速度快且耐受性良好，能够在不同的组织环境中进行持续的情感追踪。未来的工作应不断细化情感粒度，拓宽应用形式，并测试跨文化使用情况。带有规范分数的HDRPS+图片可在https://osf.io/d4wcn获取。
