Norms for Various Aspects of the Emotional Evaluation of Personality Traits

The emotional evaluation of traits and personality attributes is important in many research areas and for many research purposes. This research provides a new database for emotional ratings of 140 personality traits. This data were obtained from N = 701 participants. By extending previously published lists, the present database differentiates, in addition to positive and negative valence and arousal conveyed by the traits, between five emotions (happiness, anger, disgust, sadness, and fear) as well as subjective approach- and avoidance tendencies.
