Larsen, Hershfield et al., 2017; Schimmack, 2001), which operationalizes ambivalence as the smaller value of a participant’s positive and negative affect scores (e.g., if positive affect = 4 and negative affect = 3,…”
The evaluative space grid: A single-item measure of positivity and negativity (2009, unknown): “Specifically, we computed the minimum of each participant’s positive and negative ratings during each sample of each card game, i.e., MIN (P, N).
