Activity 4.7: Dispositional Mood Scale

The source of this scale is: T. J. Huelsman, R. C. Nemanick Jr, and D. C. Munz, "Scales to measure four dimensions of dispositional mood: Positive energy, tiredness, negative activation, and relaxation," Educational and Psychological Measurement, 58 (October 1998), pp. 804-19.

Our emotions are influenced by both the situation and our own personality. This instrument estimates your dispositional mood, that is, the level of emotion that you naturally experience as part of your personality. It consists of 20 words representing various emotions that you might have experienced.
      For each word presented, indicate the extent to which you have felt this way generally across all situations over the past six months. You need to be honest with yourself to receive a reasonable estimate of your dispositional mood.
