“…Translation and re-validation studies of the BRUMS have occurred in many languages and cultural contexts. These include Afrikaans [58], Bangla [59], Brazilian Portuguese [60], Chinese [61], Czech [62], French [63], Hungarian [64], Italian [64,65], Japanese [66], Malay [67,68], Persian [69], Serbian [70], Singaporean [71], Spanish [72], Turkish [73], and most recently Lithuanian [11]. Researchers should note that the BRUMS measures six mood dimensions only, assesses the construct of depressed mood rather than clinical depression, and is not a diagnostic tool.…”

Moods have been investigated previously in a range of cultural contexts. In our study, we investigated if six mood profiles previously identified, termed the iceberg, inverse Everest, inverse iceberg, shark fin, submerged, and surface profiles, were also evident among a Lithuanian sample. A Lithuanian translation of the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS-LTU) was completed by a sample of 746 participants (male = 199, female = 547) aged from 17–78 years (M = 41.8 years, SD = 11.4 year). Seeded k-means cluster analysis clearly identified the six hypothesized mood profiles, the prevalence of which reflected previous findings. Cluster prevalence varied significantly by sex, age, exercise and smoking status, frequency of overeating, and self-rated health of participants. Male participants and older adults were under-represented for the inverse Everest profile and over-represented for the iceberg profile. Those who reported more healthy habits (i.e., exerciser, non-smoker, rarely overeat) and those reporting better self-rated health were over-represented for the iceberg profile and under-represented for negative mood profiles; namely, the inverse Everest, inverse iceberg, and shark fin profiles. Findings supported the cross-cultural invariance of the mood profile clusters and confirmed the link between unhealthy habits and negative mood profiles.

“…To do this, comprehensive translation and validation processes are required to extend the cross-cultural generalizability of the BRUMS. This has most recently been applied to a validation of the Lithuanian-language version of the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS-LTU) [ 15 ], with the BRUMS previously being translated and cross-validated in Afrikaans [ 16 ], Bangla [ 17 ], Brazilian Portuguese [ 18 ], Chinese [ 19 ], Czech [ 20 ], French [ 21 ], Hungarian [ 22 ], Italian [ 22 , 23 ], Japanese [ 24 ], Persian [ 25 ], Serbian [ 26 ], Spanish [ 27 ], and Turkish [ 28 ] contexts.…”

Mood measures have been shown to have utility for monitoring risks to mental health and to predict performance among athletes. To facilitate use in a Malaysian context, we tested a Malay-language version of the 24-item Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), referred to as the Malaysian Mood Scale (MASMS). Following a thorough translation–back-translation process, the 24-item MASMS was administered to 4923 Malay-speaking respondents (2706 males, 2217 females; 2559 athletes, 2364 non-athletes), ranging in age from 17 to 75 years (M = 28.2 years, SD = 9.4 years). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the six-factor MASMS measurement model (CFI = 0.950, TLI = 0.940, RMSEA = 0.056 [CI 0.055, 0.058]). Convergent and divergent validity of the MASMS were supported via relationships with depression, anxiety, and stress measures. Significant differences in mood scores were found between athletes and non-athletes, males and females, and younger and older participants. Tables of normative data and profile sheets for specific groups were generated. We propose that the MASMS is a valid measure that can be used to monitor mental health status among athletes and non-athletes and that facilitates future mood-related research in Malaysia.

“…Results supported the 24-item, 6-factor measurement model using CFA, and multi-sample analyses supported configural, metric, scalar, and residual invariance across gender groups. These results were replicated using a Bangla version of the BRUMS [ 28 ] distributed to 1015 Bangladeshi university students, in which CFA supported the measurement model and showed measurement invariance across participant sex. Recently, a Malay-language version of the BRUMS was tested on a large sample of 4923 Malaysians aged 17 to 75 years [ 36 ].…”

In our study, we translated and tested the psychometric properties of an Arabic version of the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), referred to as the Arabic Mood Scale (ARAMS), among physical education university students. A total of 681 participants completed the ARAMS in exploratory and confirmatory phases. Exploratory analyses were conducted on data from 253 students between the ages of 19 and 25 years (M = 21.14 ± 1.65 years) of whom 132 were women (52.2%) and 121 were men (47.8%). Confirmatory analyses were conducted on data from 428 students between the ages of 19 and 25 years (M = 20.93 ± 1.55 years) of whom 203 were women (52.6%) and 225 were men (47.4%). The measurement model of the ARAMS was initially evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and was subsequently tested via confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). EFA identified a 24-item, 6-factor structure that aligned with the original BRUMS measurement model, and CFA demonstrated congruence between the two models. Internal consistency of the six subscales exceeded adequacy levels with good Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s Omega values respectively for anger (0.811; 0.812), confusion (0.830; 0.830), depression (0.858; 0.859), fatigue (0.823; 0.825), and tension (0.824; 0.825), and an acceptable value for vigor (0.749; 0.748). Findings support the factorial validity and internal consistency of the ARAMS, which appears to be a suitable measure for use in Arabic physical education contexts. Further validation studies are required before the ARAMS is used in other Arabic-language contexts.
