Instructions for coding and scoring the Scales:
All results for each scale are to be displayed in a separate column labeled with the scale name
but hidden from participants’ view.
1) (CIRENS):
- Questions from Q7 to Q8 are coded on a scale of:
1 Very Low
2 Low
3 Moderate
4 High
5 Very High
CIRENS score calculation = Question 7 minus (-) Question 8 = ?
Scoring Results Key:
Morning Type -4 to -2
Neither Type -2 to 1
Evening Type 2 to 4
Circadian Energy Scale (CIRENS; Ottoni et al., 2011). Participants were presented
with two self-examining items using a five-point Likert scale about their usual energy
level in the morning and evening (very low, low, moderate, high, or very high, scored
1 to 5). The chronotype score and classification are determined by the variation in
energy level scores (-4 to 4) reported by individuals in the evening and morning. It
reflects circadian preference and sleeping habits without measuring sleep
parameters as other chronotype scales. The CIRENS and the Morningness-
Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) are correlated (r = -.70).
2) MEQr
- Questions from Q9 to Q13 are coded as follow:
Where Q9, Q11, and Q13 is Reverse coded as below
Scoring Results Key:
Total scores of the 5-item rMEQ range from 4 to 26,
cutoff scores for determining CT groups were used
Eveningness: < 12
Neither: 12–17
Morning: > 17.
3) Relationship Questionnaire (RQ):
- Its split into two subscales
- Q14 is RQ1
- Q15 to Q18 is RQ2.
- Q14 (RQ1) is categorically scored as follow:
1 is Secure
2 is Fearful/Disorganized
3 Preoccupied
4 is Dismissing
- Q15 to Q18 (RQ2) is scored and coded as follows:
- Likert scale from 1-7 (1 for strongly disagree till 7 for strongly agree),
- The highest score of the four questions will represent either Secure, Disorganized,
Anxious or Avoidant, with each question corresponding to the categories
respectively.
Then calculate these dimensions:
Model of self (MS) = (Secure + Dismissing) - (Preoccupied + Fearful):
- (Q15 + Q18) – (Q17 + Q16) = ?
Model of other (MO) = (Secure + Preoccupied) - (Dismissing + Fearful):
- (Q15 + Q17) – (Q18 + Q16)
(Positive scores on these attachment representations indicate more positive models and
negative scores indicate more negative models)
4) ECR-S:
- Questions from Q19 to Q30 are coded on a Likert scale from (1 strongly disagree to 7
Strongly agree), except these are coded in reverse: Q19, Q23, Q26, Q27 (from 7 Strongly
Disagree to 1 Strongly Agree).
- Scoring Information:
- Attachment Anxiety = Averaging and getting percentage of (Q20, Q22, Q24, Q26, Q28,
Q30)
- Attachment Avoidance = Averaging and getting a percentage of (Q19, Q21, Q23, Q25, Q27,
Q29)
5) PHQ-9:
Assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories of ―(not at all, several days, more
than half the days, and nearly every day) respectively of Questions Q31 – Q39.
PHQ-9 total score for the nine items ranges from 0 to 27
Scoring information:
Add the numbers together to total the score of all 9 questions. Interpret the score by using the
guidelines listed below:
Total Score Depression Severity
0-4 Minimal depression
5-9 Mild depression
10-14 Moderate depression
15-19 Moderately severe depression
20-27 Severe depression
6) GAD-7:
This is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories, respectively, of
“not at all,” “several days,” “more than half the days,” and “nearly every day.” questions Q40 to Q46
GAD-7 total score for the seven items ranges from 0 to 21.
Total Score Anxiety Severity
0–4: Minimal anxiety
5–9: Mild anxiety
10–14: Moderate anxiety
15–21: Severe anxiety
7) Handedness:
Q48-Q51
Coded as follow:
Always left (-100)
Usually Left (-50)
Both Equally (0)
Usually Right (+50)
Always Right (+100)
Handedness score is calculated using this formula: 100*((Right - Left) / (Right + Left)).
The Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (Oldfield, 1971).
Measures handedness by assessing an individual's preferred hand for performing
various activities (Oldfield, 1971), and there is a short form of it (Vealy, 2014); A 4-item
questionnaire is administered using a five-point Likert scale ranging from “always right”, “usually
right”, “both equally”, “usually left” and “always left. It has been found to have high internal
consistency, with coefficients ranging from .86 to .94, and high test-retest reliability, with
coefficients ranging from .82 to .94
