Claims that rest on it
Each claim states what the site asserts, at what strength, and with what caveat.
TheoreticalLevel DConfidence MODERATE
Emotions fluctuate over time in patterned ways, so a single measurement cannot describe an emotional episode and repeated measurement is needed to study change.
- Scope
- Methods for studying within-person emotional change.
- Caveat
- A brief review; the relevance of specific dynamic indices to well-being is still being established.
