Positive affect: a mood dimension consisting of positive emotions such as excitement, alertness and elation at the high end and contentedness, calmness and serenity at the low end.
Negative affect: a mood dimension consisting of nervousness, stress and anxiety at the high end and boredom, depression and fatigue at the low end (Note: positive and negative affect are moods. We're using these labels, rather than positive mood and negative mood, because that's how researchers label them.)
Positivity offset: means that at zero input (when nothing in particular is going on), most individuals experience a mildly positive mood.
