This script implements Millisecond's computerized version of the Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire -D30 (MASQ-d30, 30 items, Wardenaar et al, 2010). The MASQ-D30 is an adapted version of the Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire (MASQ, 90 items, Clark &Watson, 1991), a self-report survey intended to assess the shared and distinct symptoms of anxiety and depression. According to Wardenaar et al (2010), the MASQ-D30 'is more suitable for large-scale psychopathology research and has a clearer factor structure' than the original MASQ.
