“…Costello and Comrey (1967) scales assessed Anxiety (9 items, α = .73, M response per item = 2.75, SD =0.73) and Depression (14 items, α = .83, M = 2.34, SD = 0.71) as dispositions rather than as states. Illustrating Anxiety was the self-report that "I'm a restless and tense person. "…”

“…Attempts to evaluate the psychological implications of Muslim Experiential Religiousness rested upon use of Anxiety and Depression (Costello & Comrey, 1967) and Satisfaction with Life (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) scales. Muslim Experiential Religiousness theoretically reflects a mentally healthy form of spirituality and should consequently correlate positively with Satisfaction with Life and negatively with Anxiety and Depression.…”

Spirituality based on a Muslim perspective centers on loving submission and closeness to God. A 15-item Muslim Experiential Religiousness Scale operationalized this definition of spirituality in a sample of 627 Iranian university and Islamic seminary students. Muslim Experiential Religiousness correlated positively with Intrinsic and Extrinsic Personal Religious Orientations, Muslim Attitudes toward Religion, and Satisfaction with Life, and negatively with Anxiety and Depression. This new instrument also displayed incremental validity over religious orientation and Muslim attitude scales, and an ability to explain variance in the relationships of these measures with other variables. Islamic seminarians scored higher on Muslim Experiential Religiousness than more general university students, and this scale mediated contrasts between these two student groups. In short, the Muslim Experiential Religiousness Scale demonstrated a clear potential for assessing Muslim spirituality and thus for advancing a Muslim psychology of religion.

“…The scales are regarded more as trait, rather than state indicators reflecting a person's general "tendency to experience a depressive mood" or "a predisposition to develop anxious affective states". Scores could range from 14 to 126 on the depression scale and 9 to 81 on the anxiety scale, with higher scores representing greater depression or greater anxiety [17].…”

Background: Because of lower exercise capacity and energy as well as function score in women, improvement of these indices following cardiac rehabilitation (CR) may be of greater clinical benefit to women than to men. The purpose of the present study was to determine if there were gender differences in risk profiles and function capacity as well as perceptions of quality of life and depression-anxiety status in CR patients.Methods: Three hundred and eleven consecutive patients who underwent various cardiac interventions and attended 20 or more of the CR sessions in an exercise-based CR program at the Tehran Heart Center between August 2008 and August 2009 were included. The main outcome measures were differences in the changes of exercise parameters, the health-related quality of life (QOL) (assessed by a standardized self-rating Short Form 36 Health Questionnaire), as well as depressed and anxious mood (assessed by the Costello-Comrey Depression and Anxiety Scale). Results:The metabolic equivalent (METs) level of men was higher than that of women at baseline and at the end of CR, but its changes was not significant between the two genders. At the end of the three-month program, although men had higher post-exercise systolic blood pressure, peak heart rate and peak O2 consumption than women, improvements in these parameters were not statistically different between them. Regarding health-related quality of life scores, both men and women improved in all scores, although men reported more increase in their level of general health, however the changes of all QOL scores and depression-anxiety level were globally similar in both genders. Conclusion:Improvement in exercise parameters, QOL, and depression-anxiety state is similarly occurred in men and women following complete CR program.
