Rethinking How We Measure Affect: New Insights into Psychological Well-being

How do our feelings shift between good and bad states throughout the day, and what can these shifts tell us about our psychological well-being? Our new study reveals that most people don’t gradually drift between feeling good and bad – instead, they tend to remain in one state before suddenly “tipping” into another, much like a lake switching between clear and turbid states.

This discovery opens up new possibilities for simpler and more intuitive ways to measure and understand psychological health.
