Abstract

Background: The MoodWheel app is a newly developed tool that uses experience sampling method (ESM) for assessing negative and positive emotions, based on the circumplex model of emotions and the binary model of distress, and including behavioral and heart rate (HR) measurement via photoplethysmography and the possibility to personalize the application with additional measures. Aims: This study was designed to assess the factorial structure, reliability and validity of the MoodWheel (MW) application for evaluating emotions in children, adolescents.

Methods: A sample of 490 children and adolescents were recruited from the schools. Internal consistency was assessed via Cronbach's alpha test. Concurrent validity was assessed by evaluating the correlations between MW and Profile of Emotional Distress scale (PED) scores, in terms of functional/dysfunctional negative and positive emotions.

Results: Results obtained show that MW has good to excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability, while the convergent validity was also adequate. Moreover, we found support for the organization of the MW based on the binary model of distress, given the predictive value found for the irrational and rational beliefs.

Conclusions: The MW application is a useful and easy to use tool that can be used for the accurate measurement of emotions, which will be complimented in future with additional behavioral parameters to provide a comprehensive and dynamic assessment.

MoodWheel 应用程序:基于经验取样法的情绪评估新工具的验证和因子结构。
背景介绍情绪轮(MoodWheel)应用程序是一种新开发的工具,它采用经验取样法(ESM)评估消极和积极情绪,以情绪的环状模型和二元痛苦模型为基础,包括行为和心率(HR)测量(通过光电血压计),并可通过其他测量方法对应用程序进行个性化设置。目的:本研究旨在评估用于评估儿童和青少年情绪的 MoodWheel(MW)应用程序的因子结构、可靠性和有效性:方法:从学校招募了 490 名儿童和青少年样本。通过 Cronbach's alpha 检验评估内部一致性。通过评估 MW 与情绪困扰量表(PED)分数之间在功能性/功能性消极和积极情绪方面的相关性来评估并发有效性:结果:研究结果表明,MW 具有良好至卓越的内部一致性和测试-再测可靠性,同时具有适当的收敛效度。此外,考虑到非理性和理性信念的预测价值,我们发现基于二元痛苦模型的 MW 组织方式也得到了支持:MW 应用程序是一种有用且易于使用的工具,可用于准确测量情绪,今后还将增加其他行为参数,以提供全面、动态的评估。

期刊介绍: The Journal of General Psychology publishes human and animal research reflecting various methodological approaches in all areas of experimental psychology. It covers traditional topics such as physiological and comparative psychology, sensation, perception, learning, and motivation, as well as more diverse topics such as cognition, memory, language, aging, and substance abuse, or mathematical, statistical, methodological, and other theoretical investigations. The journal especially features studies that establish functional relationships, involve a series of integrated experiments, or contribute to the development of new theoretical insights or practical applications.
