“…Further, we are not aware of any studies reporting omega values, and we can therefore not judge how our findings compare to previous research. Our results regarding internal consistency are also in line with investigations of the British PANAS in healthy volunteers (alpha of 0.85 for the NA factor and 0.89 for the PA factor) [ 16 ] and the Portuguese PANAS in an elderly, healthy population (alpha of 0.88 for the NA factor and 0.92 for the PA factor) [ 55 ]. We provide summary statistics of the Danish PANAS for individuals with emotional disorders.…”

Background The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) was designed to measure trait positive affect (PA) and trait negative affect (NA). Methods The Danish PANAS was administered to outpatients with depression and anxiety disorders. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega and factorial structure was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Convergent validity was evaluated by means of correlations with the negative affectivity and the detachment domain of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 Short Form (PID-5-SF), the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale 6 (HARS-6) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 6 (HDRS-6). Results PANAS Scores of 256 patients were analyzed. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega showed good internal consistency for both the PA score (alpha = .84 and omega = .89) and the NA score (alpha = .86 and omega = .90). CFA analysis confirmed a structure with two factors corresponding to the PA and NA factors. PA was negatively correlated with the detachment domain of PID-5 (r = -.47), HARS-6 (r = -.15) and HDRS-6 (r = -.37). NA was positively correlated with PID-5-SF negative affectivity domain (r = .43), HARS-6 (r = .51) and HDRS-6 (r = .52). Discussion The Danish PANAS has promising internal consistency and construct validity, which are comparable to other studies of the instrument.

Introdução: O afeto positivo e negativo são duas dimensões psicobiológicas do bem-estar subjetivo (BES) relevantes para a forma como é experienciada a circunstância da recurso a apoio institucional na vida de muitas pessoas idosas. Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi validar, no contexto de resposta social, uma versão breve da Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), um questionário que permite avaliar o afeto positivo e negativo. Métodos: Numa amostra de 389 idosos (61 – 100 anos; M = 80,89; DP = 7,48 anos), avaliados através da PANAS, da Satisfaction With Life Scalee da Geriatric Depression Scale-8, testaram-se as propriedades psicométricas e realizou-se uma análise fatorial exploratória da PANAS. Numa segunda amostra de 383 sujeitos (60 – 99 anos; M = 80,27; DP = 7,87 anos) efetuou-se uma análise fatorial confirmatória. Resultados: Obteve-se uma versão reduzida da PANAS, com 14 itens, estrutura bidimensional, adequadas consistências internas, validade convergente e divergente para o Afeto Positivo/AP e Afeto Negativo/AN. A estabilidade temporal (intervalo = 1,44 meses) foi igualmente adequada para o AP e para o AN (p < 0,001). A análise fatorial confirmatóriarevelou um ajustamento adequado para a estrutura bidimensional da PANAS-14 (AGFI = 0,91; CFI = 0,93; SRMR = 0,05; RMSEA = 0,06; PCLOSE = 0,12). Conclusão: A PANAS-14 é um instrumento breve psicometricamente adequado para a avaliação do PA e do NA em pessoas idosas em resposta social.

“…Recent studies suggest that loneliness, which represents the negative subjective experience of the inadequacy of social relationships, is a factor in evolutionary fitness across the life span [47] and is a good indicator of social well-being [48]. Regarding emotional well-being, PA and NA have been used as general dimensions to describe affective, emotional components of subjective well-being [49]. Resilience, as an important indicator of emotional well-being, assesses one's ability to bounce back from or adapt to stressful situations or crises, such as having been diagnosed with ADRD [10,11].…”

“…This scale has demonstrated strong psychometric properties, with Cronbach α of .88 for PA and .87 for NA. Furthermore, PANAS has been validated across various cultures and languages worldwide, consistently exhibiting robust psychometric properties in multiple studies [49,56]. Total scores will be calculated for PA and NA, with high scores indicating more PA and NA, respectively.…”

Background Increasing attention is being given to the growing concerns about social isolation, loneliness, and compromised emotional well-being experienced by young adults and older individuals affected by Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD). Studies suggest that reminiscence strategies combined with an intergenerational approach may yield significant social and mental health benefits for participants. Experts also recommended the production of a digital life story book as part of reminiscence. Reminiscence is typically implemented by trained professionals (eg, social workers and nurses); however, there has been growing interest in using trained volunteers owing to staffing shortages and the costs associated with reminiscence programs. Objective The proposed study will develop and test how reminiscence offered by trained young adult volunteers using a digital storytelling platform may help older adults with ADRD to improve their social and emotional well-being. Methods The proposed project will conduct a randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of the intervention. The older and young adult participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention (reminiscence based) or control groups and then be randomly matched within each group. Data will be collected at baseline before the intervention, in the middle of the intervention, at end of the intervention, and at 3 months after the intervention. An explanatory sequential mixed methods design will be used to take advantage of the strengths of both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative data from surveys will be entered into SPSS and analyzed using covariate-adjusted linear mixed models for repeated measures to compare the intervention and control groups over time on the major outcomes of participants. Conventional content analysis of qualitative interviews will be conducted using data analysis software. Results The project was modified to a telephone-based intervention owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection started in 2020 and ended in 2022. In total, 103 dyads were matched at the beginning of the intervention. Of the 103 dyads, 90 (87.4%) dyads completed the midtest survey and 64 (62.1%) dyads completed the whole intervention and the posttest survey. Although we are still cleaning and finalizing data analyses, the preliminary results from both quantitative and qualitative data showed promising results of this intergenerational reminiscence approach that benefits both the older adults who have cognitive impairments and the young adult participants. Conclusions Intergenerational reminiscence provided by young adult college student offers promising benefits for both the younger and older generations. Future studies may consider scaling up this pilot into a trackable, replicable model that includes more participants with diverse background (eg, public vs private college students and older adults from other agencies) to test the effectiveness of this intervention for older adults with ADRD.
