Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)

The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) is a psychological questionnaire that measures a person's general feelings and moods. It asks individuals to rate the extent to which they experience certain emotions, with separate scales for positive emotions (like joy, enthusiasm) and negative emotions (like sadness, anger). This tool helps researchers and professionals understand a person's emotional state over a specific period, providing insight into their overall well-being and emotional health. It is commonly used in studies or clinical settings to assess mood patterns and emotional responses.
