Reliability, validity and sensitivity of a computerized visual analog scale measuring state anxiety

An Exploratory Study of Physical Abuse–Related Shame, Guilt, and Blame in a Sample of Youth Receiving Child Protective Services: Links to Maltreatment, Anger, and Aggression

“…Emotions and attributions are known to fluctuate (Abend, Dan, Maoz, Raz, & Bar-Haim, 2014); thus the modest reliability of the shame, guilt, and external blaming measures is to be expected. They were associated with theoretically relevant constructs like maltreatment and anger, which suggests convergent validity.…”

Effect of cognitive bias modification-memory on depressive symptoms and autobiographical memory bias: two independent studies in high-ruminating and dysphoric samples

“…Each question was followed by a 9-point Likert scale ranging from "not at all" to "extremely". This is a reliable, simple, and rapid method to assess affective states (Abend, Dan, Maoz, Raz, & Bar-Haim, 2014).…”

The Brief State Rumination Inventory (BSRI): Validation and Psychometric Evaluation

“…The VAS response format has become increasingly popular when measuring dynamic subjective states that may change swiftly and/or whose repeated assessment can be burdensome (Abend, Dan, Maoz, Raz, & Bar-Haim, 2014). VAS scales have proved to have similar psychometric properties to (Rossi & Pourtois, 2012) and sometimes better (Du Troit, Pritchard, Heffernan, Simpson, & Fonn, 2002) than Likert-based scales.…”
