Area of Science:

  • Psychological assessment
  • Cross-cultural psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist-Revised (MAACL-R) is a widely used measure of affective states.
  • Developing culturally adapted instruments is crucial for accurate psychological assessment in diverse populations.
  • Previous validation studies for the MAACL-R exist in various languages, but a Japanese version was needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a Japanese version of the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist-Revised (MAACL-R).
  • To ensure the psychometric properties of the Japanese MAACL-R are comparable to the original version.
  • To provide a reliable tool for assessing affective states in Japanese-speaking populations.

Main Methods:

  • Translation and back-translation of the 66 scored adjectives of the MAACL-R.

  • Confirmatory factor analyses to assess the underlying factor structure.
  • Internal consistency and retest reliability analyses.
  • Convergent and discriminant validity assessments using established psychological scales.

    • Main Results:

    • Confirmatory factor analyses supported a five-factor first-order structure (anxiety, depression, hostility, positive affect, sensation seeking) and a two-factor second-order structure (dysphoric, pleasant affect).
    • Internal consistency ranged from .73 to .91, and four-week retest reliability ranged from .67 to .74.
    • Adequate convergent and acceptable discriminant validity were demonstrated through correlations with other psychological measures.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Japanese version of the MAACL-R exhibits robust psychometric properties.
    • The instrument is deemed reliable and valid for measuring affective states in Japanese research.
    • This validated tool facilitates cross-cultural research on affect and mental health.
