PANAS-SF

Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (I-PANAS-SF)

The PANAS short form measures current positive and negative mood in ten words. It takes about one to two minutes. Higher positive affect and lower negative affect mean better mood. It is the validated short form of the original PANAS.

Indicate to what extent you feel this way right now, that is, at the present moment. Answer based on how things have actually been.
