GAF Global assessment of functioning scale of the DSM-IV. Range of possible values = 1–100, whereas higher scores indicate greater levels of functioning; WHOQOL-BREF World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire, 26 items version, which assesses the overall quality of life and general health as well as four domains of quality of life, i.e. physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. Range of possible values = 4–20, whereas higher scores indicate a greater quality of life; slp valence slope SSD of valence on SSD of self-esteem; slp tense arousal slope SSD of tense arousal on SSD of self-esteem
