“…Furthermore, in studies, data collected with the visual analog scale were more precise and provided more information than data collected using the Likert scale (Funke & Reips, 2012; Rausch & Zehetleitner, 2014). Moreover, the visual analog scale was valid, reliable, efficient to administer, and easy to use (and intuitive) for participants (e.g., Abend, Dan, Maoz, Raz, & Bar‐Haim, 2014; Delgado et al, 2018; Jollant et al, 2019; Steiner & Streiner, 2005). To help participants familiarize themselves with the procedure, it is easy (and recommended) to accompany the visual analog scale with a brief introduction with instructions and a couple of examples or practice questions.…”

In this article, we offer recommendations for underused innovations and advances in research methods to enhance the quality of developmental science research. We couch our recommendations in terms of measurement innovations, design innovations, and analytic advances. We discuss six methods—the visual analog scale, the retrospective pretest–posttest design, appropriate timing and units of change, the accelerated longitudinal design, missing data treatments, and integrative data analysis. We conclude by encouraging developmental scientists to continue to incorporate advances and innovations in methods as they address the essential questions surrounding our goal to understand and improve the human condition across the life span.

“…Macdonald & Leary [24] coined the expression "social pain" to convey the feelings of pain emerging in response to threats to and/or losses of social connection, e.g., social rejection, social exclusion, or loss of significant others. This definition partly overlaps with a general notion of psychological pain [25,26]. Indeed, most authors consider social pain one of the PLOS ONE main subtypes of psychological pain, defining it as the psychological pain experienced in case of social incentive loss [27][28][29][30].…”

Different semantic and affective meaning of the words associated to physical and social pain in cancer patients on early palliative/supportive care and in healthy, pain-free individuals

Early palliative/supportive care (ePSC) is a medical intervention focused on patient’s needs, that integrates standard oncological treatment, shortly after a diagnosis of advanced/metastatic cancer. ePSC improves the appropriate management of cancer pain. Understanding the semantic and emotional impact of the words used by patients to describe their pain may further improve its assessment in the ePSC setting. Psycholinguistics assumes that the semantic and affective properties of words affect the ease by which they are processed and comprehended. Therefore, in this cross-sectional survey study we collected normative data about the semantic and affective properties of words associated to physical and social pain, in order to investigate how patients with cancer pain on ePSC process them compared to healthy, pain-free individuals. One hundred ninety patients and 124 matched controls rated the Familiarity, Valence, Arousal, Pain-relatedness, Intensity, and Unpleasantness of 94 words expressing physical and social pain. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed on ratings in order to unveil patients’ semantic and affective representation of pain and compare it with those from controls. Possible effects of variables associated to the illness experience were also tested. Both groups perceived the words conveying social pain as more negative and pain-related than those expressing physical pain, confirming previous evidence of social pain described as worse than physical pain. Patients rated pain words as less negative, less pain-related, and conveying a lower intense and unpleasant pain than controls, suggesting either an adaptation to the pain experience or the role played by ePSC in improving patients’ ability to cope with it. This exploratory study suggests that a chronic pain experience as the one experienced by cancer patients on ePSC affects the semantic and affective representation of pain words.

“…El uso del VAS para valorar la fatiga mental en los deportes de equipo ha sido utilizado en trabajos previos (e.g., García-Calvo et al 2019). Aunque no se ha encontrado ningún estudio en el que se desarrolle una validación para el uso de este instrumento en la valoración de la fatiga mental en el futbol, para algunas variables que guardan relación con la fatiga mental, como la ansiedad (Facco et al, 2013) o la fatiga general (Jollant et al, 2019), sí se han encontrado estudios que analizan las propiedades psicométricas del instrumento. RPE (Costa et al, 2019).…”

El objetivo del presente estudio fue diseñar y validar un cuestionario para valorar la carga mental en los deportes de equipo. Este cuestionario está formado por cuatro ítems en formato Likert (0-10): exigencia física, cognitiva, emocional y afectiva, y fue diseñado mediante acuerdo entre expertos (n = 10). Un total de 218 jugadores semiprofesionales de fútbol (M = 22.40; DT = 2.25) completaron el cuestionario tras finalizar un entrenamiento. Se analizó la fiabilidad mediante Alfa de Cronbach y coeficiente de Omega. Además, para la validez concurrente se realizó un análisis de correlaciones bivariadas, utilizando la Escala Visual Analógica y la Escala de Percepción del Esfuerzo. Los resultados muestran que este cuestionario presenta una adecuada consistencia interna (α = .73; ω = .75) y validez concurrente (p < .05). Por tanto, es una herramienta válida y fiable que permitirá a los entrenadores y preparadores físicos valorar la carga mental específica en los deportes de equipo. The aim of the present study was to design and validate a questionnaire to quantify the mental load in team sports. Four items with Likert scale format (1-10) composed the instrument: physical, cognitive, emotional and affective exigence. A group of expert judges (n = 10) participated in the design. Later, a total of 218 semi-professionals soccer players (M = 22.40; SD = 2.25) answered the questionnaire after a training session. The internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach´s α (.73) and ω (.75). The concurrent validity was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale´s and Ratio Perceived Exertion´s bivariate correlations (p < .05). Thus, the present questionnaire is a reliability and adequate instrument for asses the specific mental load in team sports. O objetivo do presente estudo foi elaborar e validar um questionário para quantificar a carga mental em esportes coletivos. Quatro itens com formato de escala Likert (1-10) compuseram o instrumento: exigência física, cognitiva, emocional e afetiva. Um grupo de juízes especialistas (n = 10) participou do projeto. Um total de 218 jogadores semiprofissionais de futebol (M = 22,40; DP = 2,25) responderam ao questionário após um treino. A consistência interna foi avaliada com α de Cronbach (0,73) e ω (0,75). A validade concorrente foi avaliada com as correlações bivariadas da Escala Visual Analógica e Razão Percebida do Esforço (p <0,05). Assim, o presente questionário é um instrumento confiável e adequado para avaliar a carga mental específica em esportes coletivos.
