Abstract

The Four-Mood Introspection Scale (PDF) (Alternate MS Word ver) is a 16-mood-adjective checklist arranged similarly to the BMIS but that measures four moods: Happiness, Anger, Fear, and Sadness. It was introduced as the criterion measure for the lab's music-imagery mood inductions and is reported in this article: Mayer, J. D., Allen, J., & Beauregard, K. (1995). Mood inductions for four specific moods: procedure employing guided imagery vignettes with music. Journal of Mental Imagery, 19, 133-150.

The scale performs quite well given its brief length.
