    The Multidimensional Assessment of Chronic Emotional States (MAACL) subscales for Anxiety, Depression, and Hostility are highly correlated. This suggests they may better represent general negative affect rather than distinct emotional states.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychological assessment
    • Affective science
    • Clinical psychology

    Background:

    • The Multidimensional Assessment of Chronic Emotional States (MAACL) is a common tool for measuring negative affect.
    • Its subscales (Anxiety, Depression, Hostility) are often used to assess distinct emotional states.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the intercorrelations between the Anxiety, Depression, and Hostility subscales of the MAACL.
    • To evaluate the validity of these subscales as independent measures of affective states.

    Main Methods:

    • Two independent studies were conducted with a total of 84 participants.
    • Statistical analysis was performed to examine the intercorrelations among MAACL subscale scores.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Significant intercorrelations were found between the Anxiety, Depression, and Hostility subscales.
    • These findings raise questions about the discriminant validity of the individual subscales.

    Conclusions:

    • The MAACL subscales may not reliably measure separate affective states.
    • Summing scores across these subscales could provide a more valid measure of general negative affect.
