The NIH Toolbox Sadness Survey: A self report measure for ages 18-85 using a Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) format is available, as well as a self-report 8-item fixed length form for ages 8-17 a parent-report measure for ages 8 to 12 using a CAT format; and a parent-report version for ages 3 to 7 that is a 7 item fixed length form. In addition, a fixed length self-report form is available for ages 18-85 and a fixed length parent-report form is available for ages 8-12, both as supplemental measures. Each survey version assesses negative mood, negative views of the self, and negative social cognition. For the self-report versions, each item administered has a 5-point scale with options ranging from never to always (adults) or almost always (ages 8-17) . The parent-report CAT for ages 8 to 12 utilizes a 3-point scale ranging from not true to true.", and parent-report for ages 3 to 7 utilizes a 3-point scale ranging from never or not true to often or very true. Higher scores are indicative of more sadness.
