Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL-R) is a psychological assessment tool.
  • Previous versions may have been influenced by acquiescence bias and inter-scale correlations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To standardize the revised Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL-R).
  • To examine demographic and health correlates of affect scales in a national adult sample.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the revised MAACL-R to a national probability sample of 1,543 adults.
  • Collected demographic data, self-rated health, medication use, and social activity information via interviews.

Main Results:

  • Standardization reduced acquiescence and correlations among dysphoric affect scales.

  • Demographic variables like sex, race, age, education, occupation, income, marital status, religion, geography, and location size related to affect scales.
  • Positive affect correlated positively with self-rated health; dysphoric affect correlated negatively.
  • Social and volunteer activities correlated negatively with depression and positively with positive affect.

    • Conclusions:

    • The revised MAACL-R demonstrates improved psychometric properties.
    • Affective states are significantly associated with demographic factors, health status, and social engagement.
