Welcome to the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule
The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), developed by David Watson, Lee Anna Clark, and Auke Tellegen in 1988, is a widely utilised tool for measuring emotional states in individuals. It assesses both positive emotions like joy and negative emotions such as fear, providing a quantitative snapshot of emotional well-being. This scale, ranging from 1 to 5, allows practitioners to monitor changes over time, crucial for evaluating intervention effectiveness.
PANAS is particularly beneficial in interventions with children facing social and emotional challenges due to its simplicity and adaptability across developmental stages. It offers structured feedback, aiding in the customisation of strategies to meet specific emotional needs.
It includes a body scan to help the child show where they feel certain emotions as they arise.
