Abstract
Rating Comfort and Every-Day Mood States (TRIM-S): Comparing Likert Scales with Visual Analog Scales (VAS) and Relations to Cardiovascular Response
Highlights
People are exposed to environmental circumstances all the time, regardless of work, leisure, or sleep
Ratings of every-day mood states by Trimmel’s Index of Moods States (TRIM-S) showed that conditions lead to a different perception in at least one of the four dimensions
The specificity of the four every-day mood dimensions in Trimmel’s Index of Mood States (TRIM-S) was determined by the comparison of the conditions, for which an answering format with independent pattern appeared
Summary
People are exposed to environmental circumstances all the time, regardless of work, leisure, or sleep. Main features of the environment are air quality, including odor, temperature, noise or sound, various chemical pollutions, and many other factors like radiation, electromagnetic fields, cosmic radiation, etc. Such conditions obviously affect the exposed person’s mood, comfort, performance, or even health [1 - 5]. Ratings of overall comfort may give further information and reflect a more general, personally integrated aspect of perceiving the environmental condition in question [12]. In the attempt to quantify the impact of environmental aspects on the experience of humans, ratings on comfort and on mood are widely used but different answering formats are suggested
