“…The scale's reliability has been reported to average a Cronbach's alpha of 0.74 (Lorr and Wunderlich, 1988). The mood dimensions measured by this scale correspond closely with the dimensions of other mood scales such as the``eight state questionnaire'' and`p rofile of moods states'' indicating reasonable construct validity (Lorr and Wunderlich, 1988).…”

“…We predicted that gratitude would be positively related to intrinsic religiosity, but would show no relationship with extrinsic religiosity. The Semantic Differential Feeling and Mood States (SDFMS) scale contains 35 semantic differential items with bipolar emotional states (Lorr & Wunderlich, 1988), which are divided into five subscales. We used this measure to assess the immediate affective states of our respondents.…”

Gratitude and Happiness: Development of a Measure of Gratitude, and Relationships With Subjective Well-Being

et al. 2003

The purpose of these studies was to develop a valid measure of trait gratitude, and to evaluate the relationship of gratitude to subjective well-being (SWB). Four studies were conducted evaluating the reliability and validity of the Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test (GRAT), a measure of dispositional gratitude. This measure was shown to have good internal consistency and temporal stability. The GRAT was shown to relate positively to various measures of SWB. In two experiments, it was shown that grateful thinking improved mood, and results also supported the predictive validity of the GRAT. These studies support the theory that gratitude is an affective trait important to SWB.

“…Body fat composition was determined using bioelectrical impedance analysis (Tanita body fat analyzer, model TBF‐305; Tanita Corp., Arlington Heights, IL). Study subjects were asked to complete the following subjective scales: mood, Profile of Mood States (POMS) (40) and Centre for Epidemiological Studies in Depression (CES‐D) (41); seasonality, Seasonality Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ) (29); sleepiness, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) (42); and fatigue, Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) (43). The questionnaire battery was administered at the initial visit and at end of the 6‐week exercise program.…”

Obesity. 2007;15:1749 -1757. Objective: Increased physical activity is important given the concern over the growing rates of obesity. The aim of this study is to conduct a controlled investigation of the effects of bright light therapy and exercise on weight loss and body composition in overweight and obese individuals. Research Methods and Procedures: Twenty-five overweight and obese subjects were assigned to 6 weeks of moderate exercise with or without bright light treatment. Outcome measure included changes in body mass and body composition and ratings of mood, seasonality, and sleep. Results: Body weight decreased significantly with exercise in subjects in the light and non-light treatment groups, but the change was not significantly different between the groups. Similar results were found for BMI. With exercise, body fat decreased significantly only in the light treatment group. There was a significant effect of the interaction of group by time on body fat composition, but the group by time interaction failed to reach statistical significance for body weight and BMI. Mood scores improved significantly with exercise in the light group, but no significant changes were noted regarding sleep. Discussion: This preliminary study is the first to show that addition of bright light treatment to a 6-week moderate exercise program can alter body composition by significantly reducing body fat. The reduction in body fat mass is of particular importance, because visceral fat has been particularly implicated as a major factor in the development of the metabolic syndrome. This study is an important step toward finding ways to maximize the effects of exercise.
