Time Frames for Mood: Relations between Momentary and Generalized Ratings of Affect.

Parkinson, Brian

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, v21 n4 p331-39 Apr 1995

Used computerized diaries to investigate relations between momentary and generalized affect reports. Thirty participants rated current mood at two-hour intervals and gave retrospective reports of daily and weekly mood. Average momentary ratings provided a closer estimate of daily mood than either peak or most recent momentary ratings. (RJM)
