DIMENSIONAL SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ANGERNESS AND FORGIVENESS IN MALE AND FEMALE BY MAGNITUDE ESTIMATION METHOD

The present study was designed to center around emotion measurement issues by line number estimations techniques and the relationship of anger and forgiveness emotions with appraisal dimension. Study made an attempt to identify the interval (0 interval and 24 hours interval) and emotion effect on line, number estimations. Data were collected from the U.G. students; subject has to respond on their past emotional experiences on the basis of appraisal dimension, by line and number estimation techniques. In-depth interview with respondents’ generated descriptive data. The data were analyzed with the help of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). In the present study effect of interval was found on appraisal dimension and line, number estimations. Emotions were inversely proportional to all variables. Differences are found in interval, higher differences are found in no interval condition. And the emotion condition are not effective for the subject responses, there were no differences found on any dimensions. The present study also found the one type of interaction effects, was not significant. Interaction effect of interval x emotion was not significant in any dimension. The findings of study have important implications for the measurement of emotions that how emotion measure in a better way by the magnitude scale. The research also shows the relationship of emotions with the appraisal dimensions.
