Dass-167 Info
The DASS-167, also known as the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, is a psychological assessment tool designed to measure the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in individuals. Developed by Syd Lovibond and Peter Lovibond in 1995, this self-report questionnaire has become a widely used instrument in both research and clinical settings.
Purpose
The purpose of psychological assessments like the DASS is to provide a reliable and valid measure of an individual's mental health status, specifically concerning depression, anxiety, and stress.
