The Spanish Mood Spectrum Self-Report (MOODS-SR) shows good reliability for assessing mood disorders. It effectively differentiates between mood disorder patients, bipolar patients, and healthy individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychometrics
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Mood disorders represent a significant public health concern.
  • Accurate assessment tools are crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
  • The Mood Spectrum Self-Report (MOODS-SR) is a comprehensive instrument for evaluating mood psychopathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish adaptation of the MOODS-SR.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of the MOODS-SR in a Spanish-speaking population.
  • To determine the instrument's ability to differentiate between various patient groups and healthy controls.

Main Methods:

  • A total of 71 Spanish subjects were recruited, including 49 outpatients with mood or generalized anxiety disorders and 22 healthy controls.

  • The Spanish version of the MOODS-SR was administered to all participants.
  • Psychometric properties, including internal consistency and test-retest reliability, were analyzed.
  • Convergent validity was assessed by correlating MOODS-SR subdomains with the Beck Depression Inventory and the Clinician-Administered Rating Scale for Mania.

    • Main Results:

    • The Spanish MOODS-SR demonstrated good internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
    • Significant positive correlations were observed between depressive subdomains and the Beck Depression Inventory.
    • Significant positive correlations were found between manic-hypomanic subdomains and the Clinician-Administered Rating Scale for Mania.
    • Clinical subjects scored higher than normal controls across all domains.
    • Bipolar disorder patients exhibited higher scores in the Manic component (Energy, Cognition) compared to unipolar disorder patients.
    • Differences between generalized anxiety disorder patients and mood disorder patients were minimal, with generalized anxiety patients not differing from controls in several subdomains.

    Conclusions:

    • The Spanish adaptation of the MOODS-SR is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing mood psychopathology in Spanish-speaking populations.
    • The MOODS-SR effectively distinguishes between individuals with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, and healthy controls.
    • The findings support the use of the MOODS-SR in clinical and research settings for the assessment of mood spectrum disorders.
