On the measurement of mood

Correlates of avowed happiness.

“…The first nine axes obtained for each of the five centroid factor matrices were then rotated using the Saunders-Pinska objective solution for oblique rotation. Green (1965) reported that the following factors were identified with good consistency: elation, sadness, aggression, anxiety, surgency, concentration, fatigue, social affection, skepticism, and egotism. Bipolar factors were expected but not found.…”

“…Green and Nowlis and their associates are engaged in an ambitious, ongoing study of "mood" and its dimensions (e.g., Green, 1965;Green & Nowlis, 1957a, 1957bNowlis, 1965;Nowlis & Green, 1956). In the initial work, self-ratings on roughly 100 adjectives were obtained from over 400 fraternity men.…”

“…Bipolar factors were expected but not found. Green (1965) reported correlations among these factor scores, and between the factor scores and Guilford-Martin scores, Cattell 16 PF scores, and MMPI scores. In discussing the resulting correlation matrices, Green (1965) noted that they reveal a variety of modest but psychologically sensible correlations between the mood factors and the variables measured by the other instruments.…”

“…At the same time psychological assessment was carried out using self-rating mood scales (McNair and Lorr, 1964;Green, 1965). Details of these techniques have been reported previously (Davies et al, 1974).…”

A PILOT STUDY OF ORALLY ADMINISTERED Δ1‐TRANS‐TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING RADIOTHERAPY FOR CARCINOMA OF THE BRONCHUS

“…codeine co. consumed, hypnotics requested, and any noticeable alteration in mood or behaviour was also kept daily. There were seven self-rating scales from McNair & Lorr (1964) which are designed to assess subjective feelings of (1) 'tension-anxiety', (2) 'depression', (3) 'anger-hostility', (4) 'fatigue', (5) 'confusion', (6) 'vigour', (7) 'friendliness', and two from Green (1965) used to assess (8) 'surgency', measured by self ratings on the following items-'carefree', 'playful', 'witty', 'lively' and 'talkative', and (9) 'elation'. The patient was given an instruction sheet to read and then the randomized list of 71 key words.…”
