| Abstract: | This study serves to extend the range of convenience of the golden section hypothesis by applying it to the construal of activities. Participants rated a set of leisure, work, and personal care activities on the basis of a series of bipolar constructs. The mean level of positive affect in participants’ construal of activities was remarkably close to the golden section. This finding is interpreted in light of Kelly's sociality corollary. |
