From: Life changes and depressive symptoms: the effects of valence and amount of change
Curvilinear effect of valence 1 on T3 depressive symptoms. 1A negative valence score indicates a higher amount of negative life changes than positive life changes, whereas a positive valence score indicates a higher amount of positive life changes than negative life changes. For example, a score of 3 means that three more positive life changes than negative life changes were reported.
