Features of LAPA:
Low to medium physical and mental arousal. Rewarding and pleasant situations.
Related to social affiliation, post-goal attainment, energy conservation and/or regeneration. Can appear behaviourally subtle or inactive, requiring careful distinction from low arousal negative affective states.
Example settings to study LAPA:
