Abstract

The aim of the current study was to examine how construal of negative and positive life events and positive and negative affect are related. 240 participants were randomly distributed into a 2x2 between participants design [(Valence of scenario: Negative vs. Positive) x (Order of response measurement (ORM): Construal -> Affect vs. Affect-> Construal)]. Applying the tenets of construal level theory, we found support for the main hypothesis indicating that construal of life events is dependent on the valence of affect. Negative affect emerged as a partial mediator of valence of life events and their construal.
