A restatement and test of Schlosberg's theory of emotion with two kinds of subjects from Greece.

Schlosberg's dimensional theory of emotion, including the dimension of tension-sleep, is tested to compare results obtained previously with American college students with those obtained in this study using Greek Ss. 15 Greek villagers and 15 college students in Athens comprised the 2 experimental groups which differed from each other in educational level and in lifetime movie attendance. The data indicate that Schlosberg's conclusions are now valid for non-Western groups as well as Western. Furthermore an emotion solid can be plotted from data collected by making use of Schlosberg's procedure, but the shape of the solid is not the same as that previously presented by Schlosberg. 18 references.
