Description

The Emotional State Questionnaire (EST-Q) is a tool designed to assess the emotional states and emotional fluctuations experienced by an individual at specific moments or under various conditions. The test helps to understand how emotional states influence behavior and overall well-being. The EST-Q typically includes questions related to the dominant emotions at a given time (such as anxiety, happiness, or anger), the intensity with which these emotions are experienced, and how frequently they occur.

Objective

The main objective of the Emotional State Questionnaire (EST-Q) is to assess an individual’s emotional states at specific time intervals or under certain conditions. It aims to understand how these emotions impact behavior and general well-being, and to provide useful data for the development of intervention or treatment strategies for managing emotional experiences.

Scoring

The scoring of the Emotional State Questionnaire (EST-Q) involves participants completing the questionnaire by answering questions about their emotional states. The scores are calculated based on responses regarding various emotional states and their intensity. The results are interpreted to determine the individual’s emotional profile and to identify any issues or areas that may require intervention.

Analysis

The analysis of the Emotional State Questionnaire (EST-Q) results involves examining the emotional states to understand the levels and intensity of emotions experienced by the individual. It also includes analyzing the relationship between emotional states and other psychological conditions or disorders, and developing intervention or therapeutic strategies to help manage and improve emotional functioning.
