Zuckermann Kuhlman III [19]: Self-administered 99-item questionnaire measuring impulsive sensation seeking, neuroticism-anxiety, aggression-hostility, activity, sociability and infrequency (these items detect subjects who responded carelessly).
Another alternative model is the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ) [ 8], which measures Impulsive Sensation Seeking, Neuroticism-Anxiety, Aggression-Hostility, Activity and Sociability.
These items have proven to be reliable in six cultures include Chinese (Hong Kong) [ 27]. C. ZKPQ is an 89-item self-report measure of another five basic normal personality traits: Impulsive Sensation Seeking, Neuroticism-Anxiety, Aggression-Hostility, Activity, and Sociability.

Mood is conceptualized as a fluctuating state of affect that includes the dimensions of tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigor-activity, fatigue-inertia and confusion-bewilderment.
The POMS was used to measure six areas of mood states: tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigor-activity, fatigue-inertia and confusion-bewilderment.
For the psychosocial variables non-improver status was associated with POMS tension-anxiety anger-hostility, vigor-activity, fatigue-inertia, confusion-bewilderment and depression-dejection (all p <.001).
The overall total mood disturbance score was calculated as well as six subscales measuring tension-anxiety, anger-hostility, vigor-activity, fatigue-inertia, confusion-bewilderment, and depression-dejection (Table 2).
This is a self-report questionnaire assessing emotion over the previous week and comprises 65 items corresponding to six factors: tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigour-activity, fatigue and confusion.
The Profile of Mood State (POMS) was used to measure present mood states and disturbance symptoms, dissecting six dimensions of mood: tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigor-activity, fatigue-inertia, and confusion-bewilderment (30).
The 30-adjective POMS-Brief examines the same six mood states of the longer POMS: Tension-Anxiety, Depression-Dejection, Anger-Hostility, Vigor-Activity, Fatigue-Inertia and Confusion-Bewilderment. Scores for each of the six subscales range from 0 20 with higher scores indicating higher distress except for the subscale of Vigor-Activity which is negatively scored.
