“…As revealed, all three BM DASS-21 subscales were highly reliable when tested over time. The high temporal stability of DASS-21 has also been reported in other studies but not on participants with tinnitus (Timothy et al, 1997;Silva et al, 2016). In a study by Silva et al (2016), the test-retest reproducibility of DASS-21 was assessed in non-clinical Brazilian adolescents (n = 25, aged between 10 and 19 years).…”

Tinnitus ("ringing noise in the ear") is prevalent among adults with ear diseases. Psychological symptoms have been reported in many patients with tinnitus and research in this aspect is much relevant. The aim of the present study was to determine the internal and external reliability of Malay version of Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (BM DASS-21) in documenting psychological symptoms among patients with tinnitus. In this validation study, the BM DASS-21 was administered to 28 eligible Malay adults (14 males and 14 females) with main complaint of tinnitus, aged between 23 and 74 years (mean of 52.9 ± 12.8 years). After two weeks, they were instructed asked to fill in the questionnaire again. As revealed, the internal reliability of BM DASS-21 was found to be robust. Specifically, its Cronbach's alpha values were excellent for Depression subscale (α = 0.92) and Stress subscale (α = 0.87). A good alpha value was noted for Anxiety subscale (α = 0.79). All the three subscales were significantly inter-correlated with each other (r > 0.70, p < 0.05). The test-retest (external) reliability of BM DASS-21 was found to be excellent (intraclass correlation = 0.77-0.88).In conclusion, given its high reliability, the BM DASS-21 can be used conveniently to assess psychological symptoms among patients with the complaint of tinnitus. It may guide clinicians in understanding the patients' psychological state, so that proper management can take place. eISSN 1303-5150 www.neuroquantology.com NeuroQuantology |

“…Test-retest reliability and validity have been previously documented for the SMFQ (Turner et al, 2014; Cheng et al, 2009) and the DASS-21 (Mahmoud et al, 2010; Silva et al, 2016) in adolescent or young adult samples. Additionally, participants completed an expanded version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview-Short Form (CIDI-SF; Wittchen, 1994; Kessler et al, 1998; see Appendix A in Rappaport et al, 2017).…”

The Genetic and Environmental Contributions of Negative Valence Systems to Internalizing Pathways study (also referred to as the Adolescent and Young Adult Twin Study) was designed to examine varying constructs of the negative valence systems as they relate to the development of internalizing disorders from a genetically informed perspective. The goal of this study was to evaluate genetic and environmental contributions to potential psychiatric endophenotypes that contribute to internalizing psychopathology by studying adolescent and young adult twins longitudinally over a two-year period. This report details the sample characteristics, study design, and methodology of this study. The first wave of data collection (i.e., time 1) is complete; the 2-year follow-up (i.e., time 2) is currently underway. A total of 430 twin pairs (N=860 individual twins; 166 monozygotic pairs; 57.2% female) and 422 parents or legal guardians participated at time 1. Twin participants completed self-report surveys and participated in experimental paradigms to assess processes within the negative valence systems. Additionally, parents completed surveys to report on themselves and their twin children. Findings from this study will help clarify the genetic and environmental influences of the negative valence systems and their association with internalizing risk. The goal of this line of research is to develop methods for early internalizing disorder risk detection.

“…One past study indicated that severe levels of depression, anxiety, and stress are highly associated with low life satisfaction among university students [16]. We selected DASS-21 version as it is known to have good internal consistency and stable factor analysis structure to provide a desirable convergence to the study [50][51][52][53].…”

Background Depression, anxiety, and stress are ranked among the top mental health concerns faced by university students. The transition to higher education coincides with a new social environment and adaptation that has potential to increase mental health conditions. However, limited studies in Malaysia have examined the relationship among depression, anxiety, stress, and satisfaction with life with interpersonal needs. Thus, this study was performed to assess the relationship among depression, anxiety, stress, and satisfaction with life, with interpersonal needs (perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness) as moderators. Method A cross-sectional study using convenient sampling method was conducted among 430 students (Mean aged= 20.73 years; SD = 1.26 years) in two private universities in Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire comprising the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire were used. Results Students who experienced depression and anxiety reported higher satisfaction with life under the influenced of low perceived burdensomeness. Perceived burdensomeness, when coupled with depression (β = 0.76, p < 0.01) and anxiety (β = 0.79, p < 0.01), contributed 15.8% of variance in satisfaction with life. Students who experienced stress reported higher satisfaction with life under the influence of high thwarted belonginess (β = 0.73, p < 0.01), contributing 17.0% of variance in satisfaction with life. Conclusions For university students who experienced depression and anxiety symptoms, mental health practitioners, researchers, and teaching staff may need to be aware and educate the students on how to reduce and manage their perceptions on perceived burdensomeness. For university students who experienced stress symptoms, the focus shall not be solely on managing perception towards thwarted belonginess as it is not necessarily perceive as a negative ‘interpersonal need’ in this study. Future studies are required to substantiate this result.
