Abstract

The aim of this study was to validate in Argentinean sample six sets of images from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS). Participants were 524 participants (246 men and 278 women) who assessed valence, arousal and control, through the Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM), in 358 images belonging to sets 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 14 of the IAPS. The results show a distribution of the images as a boomerang in the affective space defined by the dimensions of valence and activation. These results are consistent with those found in other countries (United States, Spain, Chile and Colombia, among others). More dispersion and less inclination were observed in the positive pole than in the negative one. Significant differences between men and women were also observed, women showed greater activation and less dominance. The absence of differences in valence dimension supports this dimension as the main axis around which emotions are organized.
