F.A.Q.

• You do not need to ask permission to use the questionnaire, but we would be delighted if you emailed us a copy of your research article published using the questionnaire.

• You may translate the questionnaire into another language.

• The words should be presented in an order that appear random to the participant (i.e., don't present all of the anger words first).

• If you are only interested in using a few subscales, we recommend that you try to include an equal number of positive and negative emotion words, so that participants will not be biased toward one valence in terms of how they are feeling.
