The POMS-BF is a 30 item, self-report inventory in which a series of mood states (such as "Tense" or "Worn out") are rated based on how well each item describes the respondent's mood during the past week, including today. Items are rated on a 5-point scale with response options of: "Not at all", "A little", "Moderately", "Quite a bit" or "Extremely" with a global score range of 0 to 120 or individual domain scores on Tension-Anxiety, Depression-Dejection, Anger-Hostility, Vigor-Activity, Fatigue-Inertia, and Confusion-Bewilderment. Lower scores indicate better mood state.
