This study assessed the psychometric properties of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) with a sample of 266 adolescent students. The results provided preliminary support for the usefulness of the scale with adolescents for research purposes. Similar to studies with adults, support was provided for the independence of the negative and positive affect dimensions in adolescents. Recommendations for additional validation research with adolescents were made.
