Scale
name: Dispositional Joy Scale (DJS)
Scale
overview: The Dispositional
Joy Scale (DJS) is a 16-item self-report measure of joy as a trait or
disposition with strong psychometric support.
Response
Type: Items are
rated on a scale of agreement from 1 = strongly disagree to 7 = strongly agree.
The numbers 2 through 6 are not labeled.
Scale
items- example
I often feel bursts of joy.
I often feel blessed.
Validity: Factor analysis resulted in a one
factor solution accounting for nearly 60% of the variance (Watkins et al.,
2017).
The
Dispositional Joy Scale was significantly correlated with other positive
psychology measures. Some examples follow with correlation coefficients next to
the associated scale (Study 2, Watkins et al., 2017).

the PANAS.

The Dispositional
Joy Scale addresses emotions, beliefs about oneself (Cognition), and a durable
pattern of responses, which is a trait or disposition. These correspond to the
dimensions of Cognition, Emotion, and Observable behavior patterns /
personality in the SCOPES
model (Sutton, 2021).
