- The present study examines several personal attributes that distinguish the personal profiles of individuals, from Indonesian and Swedish cultures, according to self-reports of positive and negative effect, stress and energy, self-esteem, hospital anxiety and depression, dispositional optimism and health. Indonesian participants expressed both more PA and more NA than Swedish participants but less stress and a higher energy-stress quotient than the Swedish participants. Additionally, the former expressed a higher level of optimism and self-esteem, but also more depression, and less impulsiveness than the latter. Younger participants expressed less positive affect and more negative affect and impulsiveness than older participants who expressed both more stress and a higher energy stress quotient. Regression analyses indicated that PA was predicted by optimism and health whereas NA was predicted by anxiety and depression and impulsiveness and counter predicted by health. The present findings are discussed according to the notion of emotional regulation according to which individuals differ in their use of emotion regulation strategies such as reappraisal and suppression, and these individual differences have implications for affect, well-being, and social relationships.

- The purpose of the present study was to describe experience of envy in two different cultures, Indonesia and Sweden. Envy is a feeling that most people have experienced and mostly regards as shameful. The concept relates to a variety of feeling that shows its complexity. The result shows that envy had a wider meaning in the Indonesian language than in Swedish, and consisted of emotional words that were rare among the Swedish respondents. The Swedish respondents’ descriptions were, with few exceptions, connected to a malicious (ill will) meaning while it was obvious that the Javanese respondents used also the concept of benign envy (without ill will). Jealousy and envy seemed to overlap each other more in Bahasa Indonesia than in the Swedish use of the words. The latter had a distinct word for schadenfreude that was lacking in Bahasa Indonesia. For the Swedish respondents, wanting to have what another person possesses was a central element of envy, for example prosperity or competence. The Javanese respondents stressed relationships, achievements and personal characteristics’ as main causes for envy. Both the Swedish and Javanese respondents reported that a person who they knew and with whom they had an established relationship, such as a friend or a fellow student, had envied them and the causes for this were about the same as their own.

The Story of the Affective Profiles Model: Theory, Concepts, Measurement, and Methodology

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The affective profiles model is a person-oriented model of affectivity. In short, affectivity is a complex dynamic adaptive meta-system or a whole-system unit consisting of two independent but inter-related subsystems (positive affect and negative affect) that can be represented as, for example, four profiles: self-fulfilling (high positive affect, low negative affect), low affective (low positive affect, low negative affect), high affective (high positive affect, high negative affect), and self-destructive (low positive affect, high negative affect). During the past 20 years, an increasing number of studies have used this person-oriented model as the backdrop for the investigation of between- and within-individual differences in biological, psychological, and social constructs. As any other model, the affective profiles model is a simplification but useful representation of complex phenomena. In this Chapter, I briefly introduce the affective profiles model to disclose the framework in which the chapters of this volume were developed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study aimed to explore and compare levels of subjective well-being and contributing factors that promote happiness in two countries, Indonesia and Sweden. A total of 104 Swedish and 112 Indonesian college students participated in this study. The instruments used were Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS; Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988), Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985), and an open-ended question, “What are the three most important things in your life that make you happy?” Data analyses were conducted in two phases for qualitative and quantitative data. Two major themes, interdependent and dependent factors of happiness, emerged from the qualitative data. Results showed that respondents from both countries reported interdependent factors as their main happiness contributor. The quantitative result demonstrated no significant effects on subjective well-being for culture and its interaction with the happiness factor. Instead, only the happiness factor had a significant effect on subjective well-being. People with interdependent happiness were happier than those who pursue independent happiness factors. This study observed no difference in the level of subjective well-being and happiness factors across the cultures.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We examine associations between self-reported personal characteristics (i.e., skills and Big-Five traits) and peer leadership in team sports at elite and non-elite levels. At a general level, the peer-rated leadership was positively correlated with self-reported athletic skill, positive affect and Openness, while negatively correlated with negative affect and Neuroticism. Moreover, peer leadership was predicted by Extraversion in the non-elite group, while counter-predicted by Agreeableness in the elite group. Suggesting that athletic level might provide a “strong” (elite level) and a “weak” (non-elite level) context in which different traits predict who is perceived as a leader.

- Three studies were performed to examine positive and negative affect, stress and energy, and Type-A personality as a function of Gender and Affective profiles. In Study I, 304 universitystudents (152 male and 152 female), in Study II, 142 pupils at upper secondary school (95male and 47 female) and in Study III, 166 pupils at upper secondary school (84 male and 82female) completed self-report questionnaires pertaining to Positive affect and Negative affectScales (PANAS), stress and energy (SE), the Type A-personality scale and a Background andHealth questionnaire. The results indicated gender effects by which female participantsexpressed a higher level of negative affect, stress and Type A-personality were found in allthree studies, as well as for energy in Study I. There were marked effects of Affective profilesupon stress, energy and Type A-personality in all three studies. Regression analysis indicatedthat Type A-personality could be predicted from a high level of Negative Affect (Study I, IIand III) as well as from high levels of stress (Study I and II). All three studies indicate a linkbetween negative affectivity, stress and Type A-personality with consequences for themaladaptive behavioral patterns implying health hazards.
