Conclusion
Published in Rose Cull, Daniel Cull, Museums and Well-being, 2023
Researchers at University College London published a freely available toolkit23 that includes downloads to allow you to utilise the system in your own museum setting. This toolkit was born from experience in running the Heritage in Hospitals (HinH) project (2008–2011). Based on this experience, they’ve kept it simple.24 The toolkit was developed after a series of Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded workshops in London, Newcastle and Manchester. During these workshops a desire for a generic museum-focused measure of well-being outcomes was expressed. In essence the authors of this toolkit brought their experience from a more clinical setting, hospitals and care homes, and proposed a simplified approach for the museum sector. The chosen methods were selected after a review of the health, well-being and quality of life scales commonly used in clinical settings.25 However, in practice the project team found them to be time-consuming when used outside the healthcare environments, as well as containing superfluous words and overlapping content. The chosen scales included the Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) for psychological well-being,26and two Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) for subjective wellness and happiness.27 These scales ask participants to rate negative and positive words for the emotions, and rating their wellness or happiness on a vertical scale.

Notably, Pat does not endorse unusual patterns of thinking or symptoms that would suggest serious psychopathology. Her levels of depression, irritability, anxiety, and fatigue are quite high, as are her pain levels. For purposes of the UP, we would as a matter of course administer the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS; Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988) as an important indicator of her positive and negative internal experiences. Pat experiences high levels of negative affect but is lacking in positive experiences.
Evaluating Analysis and Results Sections: Mixed Methods Research
Published in Fred Pyrczak, Maria Tcherni-Buzzeo, Evaluating Research in Academic Journals, 2018
It was hypothesized that participants would show improvements between pre- and post-session measures of well-being and happiness. The study demonstrated statistically significant, overall enhancement of psychological well-being as determined by the PANAS measures, and subjective well-being and happiness as determined by the VAS measures. Positive PANAS, wellness and happiness VAS scores increased, and negative PANAS scores decreased in line with predictions, although there were no significant differences between the four patient groups. The average increase in positive mood was greater than the average decrease in negative mood supporting the view of Watson et al. (1988) that the two PANAS scales were independent and orthogonal.

The PANAS (Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988) is a self-report measure intended to measure the degree to which individuals experience a variety of positive and negative affective states. The PANAS queries the following: Attentive, Active, Alert, Excited, Enthusiastic, Determined, Inspired, Proud, Interested, Scared, Strong, Hostile, Irritable, Ashamed, Guilty, Distressed, Upset, Afraid, Jittery, and Nervous. Participants respond on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 = Very Slightly/Not at All to 5 = Extremely. The PANAS demonstrated good internal consistency within positive (α = 0.88) and negative affect scales (α = 0.87). Traits used in the present investigation represent the Negative Affectivity scale and are italicized. The present study used negative affect scales to investigate an aspect of the Biosocial Theory that posits that suicidal ideation emerges following deficits in regulation of negative affective experiences.
The Resistance to Change Scale: Assessing Dimensionality and Associations with Personality and Wellbeing in Adolescents

Affective wellbeing was calculated using an adapted version of the Portuguese Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS; Galinha & Pais-Ribeiro, 2005; original version by Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988). The scale consists of 12 positive (e.g. enthusiastic) and 15 negative (e.g. sad) adjectives for describing emotions that participants score from 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 5 (extremely). We calculated affective wellbeing by subtracting the mean score for negative adjectives from the mean score for positive adjectives. In this manner, negative scores reflect a mostly negative emotional experience and positive scores reflect a mostly positive experience. This adapted version of the PANAS was shown to have excellent reliability in the study sample (ω = .96).

The PANAS is a self-report measure used to assess the degree to which respondents generally experience 20 different emotions and feelings (e.g., excited, distressed). Each emotion was rated using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = very slightly or not at all to 5 = extremely). The measure yields two factors, positive affect (PANAS-PA) and negative affect (PANAS-NA), which have demonstrated strong psychometric properties (32). In the present study, negative mood was assessed with the PANAS-NA at baseline as well as during the cessation attempt via EMA procedures (3× per day for 14 days). During the EMA portion, the time-referent of the PANAS was changed from generally to currently in order to capture state-level, as opposed to trait-level, negative affect. Internal consistency of the PANAS-NA items in the current sample at baseline was good (α = .84).
