Title of Presentation Section Running Header Is ambivalence an emergent property? Two fundamental questions 1.Do positive and negative attitudes or components co-exist? (easy question) -in stored attitudes? -in activated attitudes? -in experience of attitudes? 2. Does ambivalence have predictive power in itself? (difficult) -is ambivalence an emergent quality? -is it a structural quality that moderates attitude function?.

Title of Presentation Section Running Header Attitudes and Mixed Feelings Problem with using derived ‘potential ambivalence’ score Is it some emergent quality of ambivalence (discomfort, conflict, dissonance) or the underlying effect of univalent dimensions Potential ambivalence score [(P+N)/2)-|P-N| will largely reflect N if P is (approximately) unvarying and will largely reflect P if N is unvarying. e.g. Newlywed couples: almost all happy—but some also unhappy Dying patients: almost all unhappy—but some also happy On one hand—who cares? Ambivalence is defined as the case when both P and N are activated On the other hand, what do we focus our manipulations on?

Title of Presentation Section Running Header Potential ambivalence: combining measures of P and N Conner et al (2002) European Journal of Social Psychology Table 3 shows the results of the moderated regression analysis for eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day. Attitude (0.33, p< 0.001), ambivalence ( 0.36, p< 0.001), and most importantly the attitude_ ambivalence interaction (0.15, p< 0.05), were significant Simple slope analyses demonstrated that when ambivalence is lower, attitudes strongly positively predict behaviour (B= 0.40, p< 0.001). However, as ambivalence increases from average to higher levels, the predictive power of attitudes decreases (B.=0.28, p< 0.01, and B= 0.16, p< 0.05).

Title of Presentation Section Running Header Alternatives to separate measures of P and N: Direct or Subjective Measures Castro et al 2009 Journal of Environmental Psychology “Moreover, using a measure of subjective ambivalence avoids the biases identified by Ullrich, Schermelleh-Engel, and Bottcher (2008) when ambivalence is measured by collapsing separate measures of positive and negative attitudes into a single index. For the measurement of subjective, or experienced, attitudinal ambivalence two questions were employed: ‘‘Regarding the separation and deposition of my metal waste I feel that my attitude is’’ (from 1 not at all contradictory to 7 very contradictory)”

Title of Presentation Section Running Header Alternatives to separate measures of P and N Gilligan et al (2015) Journal of Marriage and the Family Recent studies have shown that ambivalence has detrimental consequences for both parents’ and adult children’s psychological well- being. The underlying assumption of this line of research is that psychological distress results from holding simultaneous positive and negative feelings toward a parent or child. ….high levels of this construct occur only when strong negative and positive feelings are present. By selecting a subsample of individuals with high negative feelings and including only positive feelings in the regression model, we can allow positive feelings to vary while holding negative feelings constant…. This allows us to test the ambivalence hypothesis

Title of Presentation Section Running Header Sad conclusion: There are no alternatives to worrying about separate and combined impact of P and N. Structure of mapping from P and N to ambivalence, confusion, bitterweetness, conflict, torn-ness, mixedness a matter of assumption. Using these constructs (constructed or “directly” measured) to predict other outcomes leaves assumptions dangling

Title of Presentation Section Running Header Ongoing Challenges for Mixed Indices Theoretical indices are confounded by their components -easiest to see when means or variances of P and N are different Measuring direct experience does not avoid this problem. -even more complex when measuring streams of emotions across time (than just 2 components at one time) Plotting and thinking about the data are crucial—need awareness of the key tests and constraints Vital to establish chains of construct validity
