| Summary: | There has been a reemergence of interest in human emotional states among psychological theoreticians, researchers and practitioners. The Emotional Event Analysis Inventory (EEAI) has been developed from recent empirical work concerning the cognitive dimensions and appraisal patterns associated with specific emotional states. The present study details the development and preliminary validation of the EEAI. College students were asked to make ratings of remembered joyful and angering events that they had recently experienced. The factor structure of the EEAI was examined within these two emotional qualities. The EEAI demonstrated good preliminary reliability and validity estimates. The appraisal patterns for anger and joy were found to be consistent with previous empirical work. The appraisal patterns for anger and joy were found to be largely independent of participants' personality, recent level of psychological distress and important demographic predictors. The EEAI is suggested as an assessment tool that holds promise for future research and practice. Recommendations for additional empirical work are discussed. |
