Mood measures have been shown to have utility for monitoring risks to mental health and to predict performance among athletes. To facilitate use in a Malaysian context, we tested a Malay-language version of the 24-item Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), referred to as the Malaysian Mood Scale (MASMS). Following a thorough translation-back-translation process, the 24-item MASMS was administered to 4923 Malay-speaking respondents (2706 males, 2217 females; 2559 athletes, 2364 non-athletes), ranging in age from 17 to 75 years ( = 28.2 years, = 9.4 years). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the six-factor MASMS measurement model (CFI = 0.950, TLI = 0.940, RMSEA = 0.056 [CI 0.055, 0.058]). Convergent and divergent validity of the MASMS were supported via relationships with depression, anxiety, and stress measures. Significant differences in mood scores were found between athletes and non-athletes, males and females, and younger and older participants. Tables of normative data and profile sheets for specific groups were generated. We propose that the MASMS is a valid measure that can be used to monitor mental health status among athletes and non-athletes and that facilitates future mood-related research in Malaysia.
情绪测量已被证明在监测心理健康风险和预测运动员表现方面具有效用。为了在马来西亚的背景下便于使用，我们测试了 24 项布鲁内尔情绪量表（BRUMS）的马来语版本，称为马来西亚情绪量表（MASMS）。经过彻底的翻译-回译过程，24 项 MASMS 被施测于 4923 名讲马来语的受访者（2706 名男性，2217 名女性；2559 名运动员，2364 名非运动员），年龄从 17 岁到 75 岁不等（ = 28.2 岁， = 9.4 岁）。验证性因素分析支持 MASMS 的六因素测量模型（CFI = 0.950，TLI = 0.940，RMSEA = 0.056 [CI 0.055，0.058]）。MASMS 的收敛和发散效度通过与抑郁、焦虑和压力测量的关系得到支持。在运动员和非运动员、男性和女性以及年轻和年长参与者之间，情绪得分存在显著差异。生成了特定群体的常模数据和剖面图。我们提出 MASMS 是一种有效的测量工具，可以用于监测运动员和非运动员的心理健康状况，并促进马来西亚未来与情绪相关的研究。
