“…The original POMS (McNair, Lorr, & Droppleman 1992;Lorr, McNair, & Heuchert 2003) which measured six mood states labeled: TensionÀAnxiety, DepressionÀDejection, AngerÀHostility, VigorÀActivity, FatigueÀInertia, and ConfusionÀBewilderment, has been used in about 4000 published studies (see Bourgeois, LeUnes, & Meyers 2010;Heuchert & McNair, 2012;McNair, Heuchert, & Shilony, 2003). The POMS 2-A and POMS 2-Y retain the six subscales of the original POMS instrument, but additionally include a scale for Friendliness.…”
