The tripartite model conceptualizes symptoms of depression and anxiety in three groups: low positive affect and anhedonia, which is specific to depression, somatic arousal, which is unique to anxiety, and nonspecific general distress. The Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire (MASQ) was developed to measure these symptom domains. This study reports on the psychometric properties of the Dutch translation of the MASQ.
The questionnaire was completed by a population-based sample and by patients with anxiety and/or mood disorders. Scores of these respondent groups were compared to assess the discriminant validity of the MASQ and evaluate the appropriateness of the tripartite model.
The psychometric properties of the translated MASQ were highly satisfactory. In accordance with the model, we found the MASQ to comprise three main scales, which discriminate well between subgroups of patients with mood and anxiety disorders.
Overall, like the English version the Dutch translation of the instrument appears to be a reliable and valid measure of symptoms of depression and anxiety, conceptualized as comprising three groups of symptoms. The Dutch MASQ is better able to distinguish unique aspects of mood and anxiety disorders than other self-report instruments.
三方模型将抑郁和焦虑症状概念化为三组：低积极情绪和快感缺乏（这是抑郁特有的）、躯体觉醒（这是焦虑特有的）以及非特异性的一般痛苦。编制了情绪与焦虑症状问卷（MASQ）来测量这些症状领域。本研究报告了MASQ荷兰语翻译版的心理测量特性。
该问卷由一个基于人群的样本以及患有焦虑和/或情绪障碍的患者完成。比较这些应答组的得分，以评估MASQ的区分效度并评价三方模型的适用性。
翻译后的MASQ的心理测量特性非常令人满意。与该模型一致，我们发现MASQ包含三个主要量表，它们能很好地区分患有情绪和焦虑障碍的患者亚组。
总体而言，与英文版一样，该工具的荷兰语翻译版似乎是一种可靠且有效的测量抑郁和焦虑症状的工具，这些症状被概念化为由三组症状组成。与其他自我报告工具相比，荷兰版MASQ更能区分情绪和焦虑障碍的独特方面。
