Form-Description

The Daily Record Form (TDRF) is a tool used for recording and tracking daily events, emotions, and behaviors. It was developed to help therapists and patients understand the relationships between everyday life events and psychological states.
The scale includes questions related to:
Daily activities and events.
Emotional reactions to these events.
Coping strategies used to manage these emotions.

Data Analysis and Usage

Data from the TDRF are collected daily from participants, who record the events and their emotional responses. Key analyses conducted include:
Correlation analysis to examine the relationship between daily events and emotional states.
Factor analysis to categorize types of events and emotions.
Statistical analysis to determine the impact of specific events on mental well-being.
The data can be used to develop therapeutic interventions and support strategies.

Purpose

The primary goal of the TDRF is to facilitate understanding of the relationship between daily events and psychological states. This tool can be used to:
Identify recurring patterns in emotions and behaviors.
Help recognize factors contributing to emotional problems.
Support therapeutic processes with data that can be used in psychotherapy.

Calibration

The calibration of the TDRF involves:
Reliability analysis to ensure the consistency of responses.
Confirmatory factor analysis to test the validity of the scale’s structure.
Cross-validation in different populations to ensure the generalizability of results.
