About the Fordyce Emotions Questionnaire

Developed by Michael W. Fordyce, this questionnaire is a respected measure in positive psychology for assessing happiness and emotional well-being. The assessment examines:

  • Current happiness levels on a comprehensive scale
  • Time distribution of different emotional states
  • Overall emotional patterns and tendencies

The questionnaire has been widely used in research and clinical settings to:

  • Evaluate general happiness and life satisfaction
  • Track changes in emotional well-being over time
  • Identify areas for potential improvement in emotional health
  • Guide interventions for enhancing personal happiness

Remember that happiness levels naturally fluctuate based on various life circumstances and events. This assessment provides a snapshot of your current emotional state and can be retaken periodically to track changes over time.

While this questionnaire is a valuable tool for understanding your emotional well-being, it should not be used as a diagnostic tool. If you have concerns about your emotional health, please consult with a qualified mental health professional.
