TR-PANA · Positive and negative affect triggered by a specific completed task
Task-related positive and negative affect
Overview
Task-related positive and negative affect
This scale measures how much a specific task made participants feel positive versus negative affect. It is designed to capture task-specific, state-like affective reactions rather than general affectivity.
- Construct
- Positive and negative affect triggered by a specific completed task
- Target Population
- Individuals completing concrete tasks, especially in repeated-measures contexts. In this article, the immediate target was students completing academic tasks.
- Response Format
- 1 = very slightly or not at all to 5 = extremely
- Number of Items
- 10 items
- Year
- 1999
- Adaptation Year
- 2025

Statistics
Reliability
Reliability was acceptable to good. Reported omega coefficients ranged from .77 to .85 across the two studies. In the pilot study, within-person ω was .78 for positive affect and .85 for negative affect. In the main study, ω was .77 for positive affect and .81 for negative affect.
Evidence
Validity Notes
Two-factor MCFA showed acceptable fit after correlating two residual pairs. Factor loadings were moderate to strong at the within- and between-person levels. Main-study CFA also modeled positive and negative affect as separate factors.
