Positive Affect Schedule

The Positive Affect Schedule (PAS) is a tool used by researchers and clinicians to measure how often and how intensely individuals experience positive emotions, such as joy, enthusiasm, and contentment. It typically involves self-report questions where people rate their feelings over a certain period. The goal is to assess overall emotional well-being and mood. By understanding a person's positive affect, professionals can better evaluate mental health, monitor changes over time, and tailor interventions to enhance emotional resilience and happiness.
