Is there a scale to evaluate the emotional level with information collected in the MPA (mood) section of book 3B?
The mood section was taken directly from a mental health questionnaire designed and tested by researchers of the Mexican Institute of Psychiatry, to diagnose depressive syndrome among the Mexican population. For more details, see the following reference: Calderon G.N (1997) “Un Cuestionario para Simplicar el Diagnóstico del Síndrome Depresivo” Revista de Neuro-Psiquiatría, 60:127-135. Some authors who have exploited data on moods and emotions have used this scale of questions in a semi parametric way and with categorical variables. However, Calderon (1997) presents a criterion measure that might be useful: The questionnaire consists of 21 questions. Quantification of depressive syndrome is based on the first 20 questions only, and can be answered in the negative form (No) or the positive form, where three possibilities are accepted (sometimes, many times, all the time). The measures are given a value of 1 for the negative response (No), and a value of 2 to 4 for the positive responses,
