This brief self-report measure assesses individual differences in emotional reactivity and stress tolerance. The Emotional Excitability/Emotional Stability Scale is intended to support a rapid appraisal of whether a respondent tends toward heightened emotional responsiveness versus relative emotional steadiness.
The instrument includes 15 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items are presented as simple statements describing reactions across situations, with a short validity check to help identify potentially non-credible responding. The Emotional Excitability/Emotional Stability Scale is commonly used as a screening tool in clinical and occupational contexts to inform further assessment and support interpretive hypotheses; it should be interpreted within the broader clinical picture and not used as a standalone diagnostic measure.
