Abstract

We offer an alternative conceptualization of the construct of susceptibility to emotional contagion and four related studies where two separate measures were developed and initially validated. The Contagion of Affective Phenomena Scale-General (CAPS-G) is a 5-item scale that measures the general susceptibility to the contagion of affect, and the Contagion of Affective Phenomena Scale - Emotion (CAPS-E) assesses six distinct emotions. Study 1 generated items with experts. Study 2 explored and confirmed construct validity and the factorial structure of both measures using exploratory structural equation modeling. Study 3 established test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and discriminant validity. Study 4 found predictive validity with a sample of competitive swimmers. In four separate samples, a 21-item and 6-factor first-order structure of CAPS-E provided the best model fit. We provide initial evidence that supports the use of CAPS-E and CAPS-G as reliable and valid measures of the susceptibility to contagion of affective phenomena.

多维度测量情绪传染:情绪现象传染量表的开发和初步验证。
我们提供了情绪传染易感性这一概念的另一种构想,以及四项相关研究,在这四项研究中,我们开发了两种不同的测量方法,并进行了初步验证。情绪传染现象量表-一般(CAPS-G)是一个 5 个项目的量表,用于测量对情绪传染的一般易感性,而情绪传染现象量表-情绪(CAPS-E)则评估六种不同的情绪。研究 1 与专家一起生成了项目。研究 2 采用探索性结构方程建模法探索并确认了这两个量表的建构效度和因子结构。研究 3 确定了测试再测可靠性、并发有效性和判别有效性。研究 4 发现了竞技游泳运动员样本的预测有效性。在四个不同的样本中,CAPS-E 的 21 个项目和 6 个因子的一阶结构提供了最佳模型拟合。我们提供了初步证据,支持使用 CAPS-E 和 CAPS-G 作为可靠有效的情感现象易感性测量方法。

期刊介绍: Since John Dewey and Carl Murchison founded it in 1929, The Journal of Social Psychology has published original empirical research in all areas of basic and applied social psychology. Most articles report laboratory or field research in core areas of social and organizational psychology including the self, attribution theory, attitudes, social influence, consumer behavior, decision making, groups and teams, sterotypes and discrimination, interpersonal attraction, prosocial behavior, aggression, organizational behavior, leadership, and cross-cultural studies. Academic experts review all articles to ensure that they meet high standards.
