This is precisely what I"m not understanding: how is intensity of valence different from intensity of arousal.
In other words, can I feel intensely ambivalent? If so, then I see why they claim >1 dimension. If not, I don't follow.
I would say yes. If we take ambivalent to mean "having mixed or contrary ideas about something or someone" like my desktop dictionary defines it, you can definitely feel mild ambivalence (where the two or more conflicting feelings are themselves mild), or intense ambivalence, where you feel strong, painful conflicting emotions about something.
