The Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales (ANPS) were developed to measure behavioral traits related to 6 affective neurobiological systems (play, seek, care, fear, anger, and sadness). However, the ANPS has a number of problems, including an ill-defined factor structure, overly long scales, and items that are poorly worded, ambiguous, and of questionable content validity. To address these issues, we constructed an improved short form of the ANPS--the Brief ANPS (BANPS). Three studies demonstrated that the 33-item BANPS has a clear and coherent factor structure, relatively high reliabilities (for short scales), and theoretically meaningful correlations with a wide range of external criteria, supporting its convergent and discriminant validity. Unlike typical short-form scales, the BANPS improves upon the psychometric properties of the long form, and we recommend its use in all research contexts.
情感神经科学人格量表（ANPS）旨在测量与 6 种情感神经生物学系统（游戏、探索、关怀、恐惧、愤怒和悲伤）相关的行为特征。然而，ANPS 存在许多问题，包括不明确的因素结构、过长的量表以及措辞不当、模糊和内容效度存疑的项目。为了解决这些问题，我们构建了 ANPS 的一个改进的简短版本——简短情感神经科学人格量表（BANPS）。三项研究表明，33 项的 BANPS 具有清晰一致的因素结构、相对较高的信度（对于简短量表而言），以及与广泛的外部标准具有理论意义上的相关性，支持其聚合和区分效度。与典型的简短量表不同，BANPS 改善了长式量表的心理计量学特性，我们建议在所有研究情境中使用它。
