Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper is a part of a line of research designed to develop a measures of individual differences in motivational activation. Previous research produced the Motivational Activation Measure, or MAM (Lang, Shin, Lee, 2005) based on dimensional emotion theories that conceptualize emotion as a function of activation in the motivational systems. This research has shown that MAM is reliable and valid when used to measure motivational activation in young adults (Lang, Bradley, Sparks, & Lee, in press) The goal of the present study is to validate a new measure called Youth Oriented MAM (YO-MAM) that will be suitable for children. Results of this study demonstrate that the appetitive activation measure, called positivity offset, and the aversive activation measure called negativity bias were significantly related to physiological, self-reported and behavioral measures of the appetitive and aversive systems respectively. Overall, the results of this study indicated that YO-MAM may be a valid measure of positivity offset and negativity bias for children.
