Dispositional Affect and the Workplace- Some studies have suggested that worker's perceived career barriers might be due to their dispositional affect. Career barriers are barriers, such as race or gender, that prevent one from moving up in career opportunities. Individuals with more negative affect perceived more career barriers. Males and non-Hispanic Whites showed less perceived barriers than females and minorities. CourtneyLynn33 (talk) 17:21, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Positive/Negative Affect- When strictly examining positive affect, studies looking at sentence processing showed that people with less positive affect rely on local cues instead of global cues. CourtneyLynn33 (talk) 00:19, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Some studies have found a relationship between Dispositional affect and the coping mechanisms used in attaining ones goals. Those with a positive dispositional affect were more successful in using task-oriented coping methods ( which involve directly addressing the issue at hand), while those with a negative dispositional affect were more successful in using avoidant coping strategies (which involve managing stressful situations in an indirect way.) ch2dd, 9:04, 20, March 2020 (UTC)

Relation to other concepts-
There has been some debate over how closely related affect and some of the Big Five Model of personality traits are related. Some maintain that negative affect and positive affect are should be viewed as the same concept as Neuroticism and Extraversion from the Big Five Model, respectively. However, other researchers maintain that these concepts are related but should remain distinctly separate as they have traditionally had weak to moderate correlations, around .4.
