 ====== Personality (GAS) ======
-The goal-oriented personality traits of Lifelines participants was assessed in follow-up questionnaire [[1C]] using the [[http://www.midss.org/content/goal-adjustment-scale-gas|Goal Disengagement and Goal Reengagement Scale]] (GAS) ((Wrosch, C., Scheier, M. F., Miller, G. E., Schulz, R., & Carver, C. S. (2003). Adaptive self-regulation of unattainable goals: Goal disengagement, goal reengagement, and subjective well-being. Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 29, 1494-1508.)).
+The goal-oriented personality traits of adult [[start|Lifelines]] participants ([[sections|section]]: [[mental health]]) were assessed in follow-up questionnaire [[1C]] using the [[http://www.midss.org/content/goal-adjustment-scale-gas|Goal Disengagement and Goal Reengagement Scale]] (GAS) ((Wrosch, C., Scheier, M.

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 29, 1494-1508.)).\\
+Note that personality traits were also assessed in Lifelines using the [[personality (ASI)|ASI]], the [[personality (NEO)|NEO]], and the [[personality (Type D)|Type D]] instruments.\\
+Moreover, various personality traits ([[Aggression (ASR/ABCL)|hostility]], [[Reward sensitivity (SPSRQ)|reward sensitivity]]) were assessed in the context of an an [[additional assessments|additional questionnaire]] on [[ADHQ|ADHD]].
 ===== Background =====
-Goal adjustment tendency, as measured by the Goal Adjustment Scale (GAS), has been found to predict mental and physical health in both healthy populations (e.g. students) and clinical populations (e.g. patients with a chronic medical condition). The GAS may be used to explain why people show differences in well-being, despite experiencing similar disease severity or life stressors.

 ===== Scoring =====
+A syntax to score the results of the GAS is available at Lifelines.\\
 Respondents are asked how strongly the 10 statements in the GAS applies to them on a 5-point [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likert_scale|Likert scale]] where 1 = almost never true and 5 = almost always true.\\
 The 10 items in the GAS are distributed over 2 subscales:
   * Goal disengagement (4 items), which measures the ease with which respondents are able to reduce effort and relinquish commitment toward unattainable goals. Two items were developed for each component of goal disengagement: relinquishment of commitment and reduction of effort.
-  * Goal re-engagement (6 items), which measures the extent to which individuals generally reengage in other new goals if they face constraints on goal pursuits. It contains three two-item sets. These two-item sets assessed the tendency (a) to identify new goals, (b) to commit to new goals, and (c) to begin active pursuit of new goals, respectively, when unattainable goals were encountered.

It contains three two-item sets assessing the tendency to identify new goals, to commit to new goals, and to begin active pursuit of new goals, respectively.
-Note: individual the components of goal disengagement and goal re-engagement are hardly ever studied. Studies tend to focus on the two subscales.
