The NIH Toolbox Positive Affect Survey is a self-report measure that assesses both activated (i.e., happiness, joy) as well as unactivated (i.e., serenity, peace) aspects of Positive Affect. Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) versions are used for ages 13 to 17 and 18-85; a 12-item fixed length form is used for ages 8-12, and a Computer Adaptive Test is used for the Parent-Report version with ages 3 to 7 In addition, fixed length forms are available for ages 18-85 Self-Report and ages 3-12 Parent Report, as supplemental measures. Each item administered has a 5-point scale with options ranging from not at all to very much. Higher scores are indicative of more positive affect.

In the past 7 days, I felt happy.
