Affect Dynamics

Our latest research explores the prevalence of bistability in human affect dynamics and introduces a set of novel affect shift metrics to predict psychological well-being. The metric we call Positive-to-Negative Affect Shift Ratio (P2N-ASR), which measures the tendency to switch between positive and negative affective states, appears to be a robust predictor of psychological well-being.
