Help Respondents Indicate Their Levels of
Psychological Distress
The State Trait-Depression Adjective Check Lists (ST-DACL) is an evolution of the Depression Adjective Check List (DACL), an instrument widely used to measure feelings of dysphoria, sadness and psychological distress. The ST-DACL introduces new forms that permit the instrument to be more easily administered and scored while using the same items and lists. It also expands into an instrument that measures both State and Trait Mood.
