Researchers commonly asses one's emotional state by using the PANAS (positive-affect-negative-affect) Scale. This scale permits researchers to capture both positive and negative dimensions of emotional experience.

Assume I have asked you to allocate a questionnaire to your classmates after they have taken their midterm to measure the emotional state they were in while taking the exam. Your job is to:

(a) Create an eight item PANAS scale using four positive and four negative scale items to measure your classmates emotions while having taken this BB mid-term exam.

(b) Do you think this is a good scale to utilize in this circumstance? Why/Why not?
