| Instrument | Latent Variables | Concepts |
|---|---|---|
| Positive and Negative Affect Schedule—PANAS | Positive Affection Scale (WBS) | Reflects how enthusiastic, active and alert a person is [9]. |
| Negative Affection Scale (NAS) | Reflects anguish and dissatisfaction, including a variety of aversive moods, including anger, guilt, heartbreak and fear. | |
| Generalized Anxiety Scale (Generalized Anxiety Disorder)—GAD-7 (GAD) | A state of exacerbated concern that can affect various activities or events in an individual’s life. With its symptoms (psychiatric and somatic), this can be considered a chronic and recurrent disorder [47]. | |
| State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale (STAI) | Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T) (TAI) | People who have an anxiety trait tend to perceive a greater number of situations as dangerous or threatening and, consequently, to frequently respond with an increased state of anxiety [48]. |
| State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-E) (SAI) | Refers to a momentary, transient state, characterized by tension, apprehension and increased autonomic nervous system activity, depending on how a situation is perceived, with a heightened state of anxiety when the situation is perceived as threatening [48]. | |
