Abstract: The structure of momentary affect among Cantonese‐speaking Chinese was explored by developing questionnaire scales in four response formats. Scales can be scored for dimensions defined by Feldman Barrett and Russell; Thayer; Larsen and Diener; and Watson and Tellegen. In a study of recalled affect (N = 487), the newly translated scales were found to support all but Watson and Tellegen's structural model originating from English. Results cross‐validated well in a second sample (N = 402). Affect dimensions were interrelated as found with English‐speaking Canadians and they could be integrated into a two‐dimensional bipolar space.
