A scale for measuring the occurrence of positive states of mind: a preliminary report

Center for Study of Neuroses, University of California, San Francisco 94143.

It may be as important to measure a failure to achieve desirable states of mind as it is to measure negative moods. The proposed measure of positive states of mind was found to be internally consistent, sensitive to degrees of life stress, well accepted, quick to administer, and amenable to use as a repeated measure in longitudinal studies. Data from 187 men and women in a college student sample are reported.
