尽管方法有很大的不同，以前对情感（语言中表现的情感）的研究往往获得了似乎是相同的基本维度。这些相似的命名尺寸从不同的方法是否实际上是等同的，在这里进行了测试，从多维尺度，连续间隔尺度，语义差异尺度，和因素分析的口头自我报告数据的相互关联的尺寸。结果强烈支持的收敛效度的愉快-不愉快和唤醒程度，但在其他维度上是模棱两可的。分别对愉悦、中间和不愉悦情绪进行多维尺度划分，（a）证实了在每一个愉悦水平上都存在唤醒维度，（B）获得了三个额外维度：控制/效能/支配、体验深度和因果关系。这三个维度被解释为描述的不是情绪本身，而是关于情绪的前因或后果的信念。在最后一项研究中，内部与外部的因果关系被证明是可靠的解码从情感表示的话。
Despite widely differing methodologies, previous studies on affect (emotion as represented in language) have often obtained what appear to be the same basic dimensions. Whether these similarly named dimensions from different methodologies are actually equivalent was tested here by intercorrelating dimensions obtained from multidimensional scaling, successive-intervals scaling, semantic differential scaling, and factor analysis of verbal self-report data. Results strongly supported the convergent validity of pleasure-displeasure and degree of arousal, but were equivocal on additional dimensions. Separate multidimensional scalings of pleasant, intermediate, and unpleasant affect terms (a) confirmed the presence of an arousal dimension at each level of pleasure and (b) obtained three additional dimensions: control/potency/dominance, depth of experience, and locus of causation. These three dimensions were interpreted as describing not the emotion per se but rather beliefs about the antecedents or consequences of the emotion. In a final study, internal versus external locus of causation was shown to be reliably decoded from emotion-denoting words.
