VARIATIONS IN THE STRUCTURE OF TOMKINS’ THEORY OF AFFECTS AND SCRIPTS

Summary/Abstract: This article exhibits in details demonstration how to overcome some scientific reduction hypothesis. The perspective of double-encoding the data obtained by the experimental model for anonymous internet testing is applied. Analysis with nominal “frequency” and interval “advantage” type of encoding and statistical measurements such as exploratory and “self-affirmation” potential of a factor and Itemresponse Rasch analyzes are introduced. The concepts of “affect density”, “script advantage” and others are derived from Silvan Tomkins’s Affects and Scripts theory. The statistics show that there are significant differences between three, six, eight or ten latent factors and their explanatory potential of emotion-laden constructs. Correlation and path analysis also have been applied to support some experimental hypothesis and significant correlation pathways have been extracted as an example of some salient “scripts”. Three qualities of patterns depict and portray specifics of variables assemblies. The experimental model is allocated at https://testrain.info.
