Affective quality is routinely represented in one of two ways: A) using the dimensions of valence and arousal (Model Valence Arousal) or B) using the dimensions of positivity and negativity (Model Positivity Negativity). C) an alternative triangular model (from Mattek et al., 2017) that allows the assumptions in both columns 1 and 2 to be true under certain conditions, rather than logically opposed as they appear in A versus B.
