Describe the factors and organization of the circumplex model

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Arousal (activation and deactivation) and valence (unpleasant and pleasant) serve as the axes of the circumplex model. Emotions are then organized along those dimensions. Therefore, excited would be organized as an activation-pleasant emotion, relaxed as a deactivation-pleasant emotion, lethargic as a deactivation-unpleasant emotion, and nervous as an activation-unpleasant emotion.
