对60岁及以上的老年人(n=690；57%为女性)进行了心理测量学测试，该量表包含35个条目(7分反应量表；与过去24小时有关的评级)的德文简本《情绪状态简档》。尽管前三个因素是相互关联的，但具有四个因素(沮丧、疲劳、不高兴、活力)的POMS的内部结构基本上是可以复制的。天平的可靠性似乎非常好。POMS量表与Beck抑郁量表和SF-36量表的相关分析表明，POMS量表具有较好的收敛效度。针对居住在东德和西德的四个年龄组的男女和老年人提出了具体的规范。因此，使用德国简版POMS作为老年学研究的有效和经济工具似乎是合适的。
The German short version of the "Profile of Mood States (POMS)" with 35 items (seven-point response scale; rating related to the past 24 hours) was psychometrically tested in a sample of elderly people of 60 years of age and older (n = 690; 57% female). The internal structure of the POMS with four factors (dejection, fatigue, displeasure, vigour) could largely be replicated, even though the first three factors are intercor related. Reliability of the scales appears to be very good. The convergent validity of the POMS scales could be proved by correlations with the Beck Depression Inventory and the SF-36. Specific norms are presented for four age groups, men and women and elderly living in Eastern and Western Germany. So it seems appropriate to use the German short version of the POMS as a valid and economic instrument for gerontological studies.
