Temporal Relationship between Positive Affect and PSM Episodes
Positive affect (PA) did not increase or decrease at a significant rate prior to PSM (B= 1.06, SE= .67, p = .115), but it increased at a significant rate following PSM (B= −1.86, SE= .81, p= .023).
PA was summed scores for current ratings of “alert”, “inspired”, “determined”, “attentive”, “active” on a 5-point Likert scale (1: “not at all” to 5: “always”).
