The Multiple Affect Adjective Check List-Revised at a 6th-grade reading level (MAACL-R6) shows reliable and valid mood assessment. Referred individuals scored significantly higher on this accessible measure.

Area of Science:

  • Psychological assessment
  • Clinical psychology
  • Affective disorders

Background:

  • The Multiple Affect Adjective Check List-Revised (MAACL-R) is a widely used measure of mood states.
  • A potential limitation of the MAACL-R is its reading level, which may pose challenges for certain populations.
  • Developing a version of the MAACL-R accessible to lower reading levels is important for broader clinical utility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt and evaluate a lower reading level version of the MAACL-R (MAACL-R6).
  • To assess the reliability and validity of the MAACL-R6 using data from nonreferred and referred samples.
  • To compare mood scores between referred and nonreferred individuals using the MAACL-R6.

Main Methods:

  • A scoring key was developed for MAACL-R adjectives at or below the 6th-grade reading level (MAACL-R6).

Related Experiment Videos

  • The MAACL-R6 was used to rescore data from college student samples (N=52, N=78) and a community mental health clinic sample (N=202).
  • Reliability (internal consistency, test-retest) and validity (correlations with mood scales) were examined. Means were compared between referred and nonreferred groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Reliability and validity of the MAACL-R6 were comparable to the original MAACL-R.
    • Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were high for the MAACL-R6.
    • Individuals from the referred sample scored significantly higher on the MAACL-R6 compared to nonreferred samples.

    Conclusions:

    • The MAACL-R6 provides a reliable and valid measure of affect suitable for individuals with lower reading abilities.
    • The MAACL-R6 effectively differentiates between referred and nonreferred individuals, with higher scores in the referred group.
    • This adapted measure enhances the accessibility and applicability of the MAACL-R in diverse clinical settings.
