Konuma et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=186). Japanese translation of POMS 2 vs. Japanese translation of POMS (first edition) was evaluated on Correlation coefficients between scores on six POMS subscales and corresponding POMS 2 subscales (r ≥ 0.996, p=<0.001). The Japanese translation of the Profile of Mood States Second Edition (POMS 2) showed high correlation with the first edition across all six corresponding subscales for the full-length version (r ≥ 0.996).
