Conceptual distinctions from emotion and mood
Creating new sentences taking about the differences between dispositional affect from emotions and mood.


 * A more in-depth talk about emotion and how it differs from dispositional affect.
 * A more in-depth talk about mood and how it differs from dispositional affect.

Dimensions
Just some editing on this paragraph to help fit the additions to positive and negative affectivity.


 * Positive affectivity: A rework of this sentence with adding more information. Also adding sources to this to make it correct.
 * Negative affectivity: A rework of this sentence with adding more information. Also adding sources to this to make it correct.

Dispositional Affect in the Workplace

 * I think a good place to start would be to combine this section with the section below about positive and negative affect as they both only have one sentence.
 * We could start by talking about base correlations between positive and negative disposition and workplace performance


 * We can also add what personality types are correlated to positive/negative affect. (Ex. If you're extraverted, does that mean you'll have more positive affect?)
 * We could then discuss the positive influence this has on the workplace, and then the negative.
 * The middle link has good information on the positive influence.
 * The bottom link is about workplace bullying and has some pretty good info on the negative effect.
 * To end the section we could talk about address some gaps in the research and see what sources we can find to potentially talk about future research on the topic.

Positive Disposition in workplace performance

- Dispositional affect has been found to be positively correlated to working memory

- Many tasks require working memory, and it has been found that working memory is better when positive affect is in play.

-While there originally were no studies proving that positive affect and working memory were related, one study did find some evidence to back up the theory of there being a relationship between them.

- Study was conducted by giving some participants more disturbing stimuli, and other participates normal stimuli, then given a short memory test.

-Somewhat small sample of 36 participants

Negative Disposition in workplace performance

- Some studies have discovered that there is a negative correlation to working memory with negative affect

- When there is negative affect (or more negative emotions) working memory tends to not be able to retain, or keep as much information.

- Higher negative affect is positively correlated to workplace bullying

- Strong correlation was found between negative affect, and role conflict contributing the most to bullying

Dispositional affect and the workplace

Dispositional affect influences work attitudes, as well as work results. This is because the brain has different processes induced by dispositional affect. Work attitudes will also be based on how a person interprets their work, which is based on that person's dispositional affect. For example, if a person leans towards having a more 'positive' dispositional affect, which would mean low in negative affect, and high in positive affect, than they may have a more positive outlook towards their job, and components of their job; for example projects, bosses, coworkers, etc. Building off of this, studies have shown that people who have a dispositional affect with higher positive affectivity, receive an overall more positive response from the environment than people with high NA, or even people with low PA. Its also been found that people with low PA tend to be less enthusiastic, and have lower energy than those with high PA. This relates to how people with high PA in dispositional affect have a higher drive to succeed in their goals. Negative disposition has been found to affect working memory. Also, negative disposition has been correlated with workplace bullying in one study that suggests tat individuals with more negative disposition are more likely to receive harassment in the workplace. Counterproductive workplace behavior is strongly correlated with negative disposition, and can also lead to moral disengagement.
