These scales were developed by Tellegen et al. Although RC7 is the scale that is considered most useful in the general assessment of anxiety symptoms, because they measure broad affective dimensions relevant to unipolar mood and anxiety disorders, RCd (Demoralization) and RC2 (Low Positive Emotions) should also be considered in the assessment of some forms of anxiety symptomatology. One of these scales is RC7 (Dysfunctional Negative Emotions), which focuses on core negative emotionality markers, such as anxiety, fear, guilt, and anger. There are several RC scales germane to assessing anxiety symptoms.
