Description

The Topic Emotions Survey (TES) is an assessment tool used to measure emotions related to specific topics or situations. This scale aims to capture the emotions experienced by individuals when referring to specific topics, such as family, work, relationships, or personal interests. The TES evaluates a range of emotional reactions, including anxiety, joy, frustration, and anger.

Analysis and Use of Data

The TES is used to analyze individuals’ emotional responses in relation to various topics. The scale collects data through questionnaires, where participants are asked to describe their emotions concerning each topic. The data can be used to detect emotional trends or patterns linked to specific topics or situations, and may help in formulating intervention or therapy strategies.

Purpose

The main purpose of the TES is to assess the intensity and nature of the emotions that people experience in specific contexts or situations. The tool can be applied in both clinical and non-clinical settings to understand emotional responses and their connection to mental health, well-being, or performance.

Scoring

The TES includes a rating scale that ranges from “very low emotional response” to “very high emotional response.” Participants rate the intensity of their emotions on a Likert scale, with options ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much). The data is analyzed to identify patterns of emotional responses to different topics.
