The objective of the article is to study the internal consistency, construct validity, and distribution the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) among Mexican married persons. Un échantillon de 727 participants (52,8% de femmes et 47,2% d'hommes) a été collecté par random routes à Monterrey et dans sa zone métropolitaine, au Mexique. The PANAS, the Relationship Assessment Scale, and the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding were applied. The overall internal consistency was excellent. The PANAS presented a two-factor structure. By dropping item 12, a from-good-to-adequate fit and a good fit-parsimony relationhip were achieved. The internal consistency of Positive Affect (PA) factor was excellent, and the one of Negative Affect (NA) factor was good. The distribution of the total score (Affective Intensity = AI) followed a normal curve. The central tendency in AI, PA and NA was equivalent between men and women. PA was correlated with marital satisfaction with a strong strength of association, NA with a moderate strength of association, and AI weak. Social desirability had a small effect size on PA and NA, and trivial on AI. It is concluded that the two-factor model is validated, and the PANAS presents internal consistency and concurrent construct validity.

الهدف من هذه المقالة هو دراسة الاتساق الداخلي، وبناء الصلاحية، وتوزيع جدول التأثير الإيجابي والسلبي (PANAS) بين الأشخاص المتزوجين المكسيكيين. تم جمع عينة من 727 مشاركًا (52.8 ٪ من النساء و 47.2 ٪ من الرجال) عن طريق طرق عشوائية في مونتيري ومنطقتها الحضرية، المكسيك. تم تطبيق PANAS ومقياس تقييم العلاقة والجرد المتوازن للاستجابة المرغوبة. كان الاتساق الداخلي العام ممتازًا. قدمت بانا بنية ذات عاملين. من خلال إسقاط البند 12، تم تحقيق تناسب من جيد إلى كافٍ وعلاقة جيدة بين الملاءمة والاضطراب. كان الاتساق الداخلي لعامل التأثير الإيجابي (PA) ممتازًا، وكان عامل التأثير السلبي (NA) جيدًا. يتبع توزيع الدرجة الإجمالية (الشدة العاطفية = الذكاء الاصطناعي) منحنى طبيعيًا. كان الاتجاه المركزي في الذكاء الاصطناعي والسلطة الفلسطينية و أمريكا الشمالية متكافئًا بين الرجال والنساء. كان PA مرتبطًا بالرضا الزوجي مع قوة ارتباط قوية، و NA مع قوة ارتباط معتدلة، و AI ضعيف. كان للرغبة الاجتماعية تأثير صغير على السلطة الفلسطينية و أمريكا الشمالية، وتافهة على الذكاء الاصطناعي. تم التوصل إلى أن النموذج ثنائي العامل قد تم التحقق من صحته، وأن PANAS يقدم اتساقًا داخليًا وصلاحية بناء متزامنة.
