description: These are the measures used in the MIST project. Measures include: <strong>1. The World Health Organization (WHO) measure of subjective wellbeing is a short survey with five items rated on a 6-point Likert scale. It examines wellbeing through subjective quality of life based on positive mood, vitality, and general interest. While the scale is short it has been found to have good construct reliability and is a strong predictor of depression (Henkel et al. 2003). For example: On a scale of 0 – 5, 0 being ‘At no time’ and 5 being ‘All of the time’ over the last two weeks I have felt cheerful and in a good-spirits. </strong> <strong>2. The Shame Inventory (SI) measure is a two-part survey that assesses an individual’s experience of shame. It provides an empirical measure for the extent and severity of overall shame experience and the severity of several possible shame events using a 5-point Likert scale.Results indicated that the inventory has high internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity, and predictive validity (Rizvi 2009). This includes questions such as: On a scale of 0 – 4, 0 being ‘Never’ and 4 being ‘Always’ select the number which indicates how often you typically feel shame.</strong> <strong>3. The Willingness to Communicate about Health (WTCH) measure is a short survey that assesses patient self-advocacy and how this predisposition is related to assertiveness and information-seeking. The measure uses a 5-point Likert scale. The measure demonstrated internal consistency across samples, high construct validity and reliability. The measure includes questions such as: On a scale of 1 - 5, 1 indicating ‘Do Not Agree’ and 5 being ‘Definitely Agree’ I only talk about health issues when I have to. </strong> <strong>4. The Trauma Checklist for Adults is a three part measure of symptomatic distress in adults arising from traumatic experiences. It measures aspects of post-traumatic stress as well as other symptoms. The measure uses a 4-point Likert scale and includes questions such as: On a scale of 0 - 3, 0 being ‘Not at all’ and 3 being ‘Almost Always’ how often do you relive a traumatic event. </strong> <strong>5. The measure of Shame Resilience (SR) uses a 4-point Likert scale to assess how a participant would respond to a potential shame trigger. The measure asks participants to rate how likely they are to engage in various behaviors following a specific shame trigger. The measure demonstrated strong internal consistency reliability and construct validity and produced a factor structure that closely aligns with the tenets of shame resilience theory (Hauser 2016). This measure includes questions such as: On a scale of 0 – 3, 0 being ‘Definitely Would Not’ and 3 being ‘Definitely Would’ If you received a low grade on a class assignment: How likely are you to do the following? (1) Avoid this instructor outside of class, (2) generate kind and compassionate self-talk regarding this low grade, (3) ask around to compare your grades against others’, (4) discuss the grade and your feelings with the instructor, or (5) feel like a complete failure.</strong>
