Development and validation of a Romanian version of the expanded version of Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS-X)

This study aim was translation and adaptation of PANAS-X for Romanian speakers from a determinant organizational setting. We have a sample of 120 basic-level employees of an industrial organization, age between 25-60, males and females, same level of educations. We use the translation/re-translation method, for reliability of translation. Both scales internal consistency reliabilities are high. Consistent gender or age differences on these scales were not found. Test-retest reliability test for the PA and NA scales demonstrated significant, moderate stability over a 30 days’time interval. Using NEO FF demonstrate that Romanian version of PANAS-X scales are strongly and systematically related to measures emotionality.
