The study tested for the existence of a set of mood factors, replicated the factors, and determined their sensitivity to brief chemotherapy and psychotherapy. 5 moods were hypothesized, identified in 1 study, and replicated in 2 studies involving large groups of psychiatric outpatients. These moods were: Tension, Anger, Depression, Vigor, and Fatigue. 2 additional moods, Friendliness and Confusion, were identified but have not been confirmed. Evidence is presented for the factorial and concurrent validity of the mood factors and for their sensitivity to various treatment effects. A cross-study comparison is made of mood factors in the literature. The mood scales are thus shown to provide a useful method for assessing mood profiles in psychiatric outpatients. (19 ref.)
An analysis of mood in neurotics
Abstract
The study tested for the existence of a set of mood factors, replicated the factors, and determined their sensitivity to brief chemotherapy and psychotherapy. 5 moods were hypothesized, identified in 1 study, and replicated in 2 studies involving large groups of psychiatric outpatients. These moods were: Tension, Anger, Depression, Vigor, and Fatigue. 2 additional moods, Friendliness and Confusion, were identified but have not been confirmed. Evidence is presented for the factorial and concurrent validity of the mood factors and for their sensitivity to various treatment effects. A cross-study comparison is made of mood factors in the literature. The mood scales are thus shown to provide a useful method for assessing mood profiles in psychiatric outpatients.
