Guidelines/Instructions
For clinical purposes, apathy is conceptualized as a pathological construct. Therefore, AES items are scored so that high AES scores indicate more apathy, i.e. less motivation. This requires recoding items that are stated with positive (+) or ""healthy"" syntax. Therefore, all but 3 AES items (#6, #10, #11) have to be recoded. The recoding rules are the same for the AES-S, AES-I, and the AES-C. Recoding means changing item codes so that 1=4, 2=3, 3=2, 4=1.
