Please circle the appropriate number to show how you feel about this session.
Depth (Alpha.90)‚ Smoothness (Alpha.92)‚ Positivity (Alpha.90)‚ Arousal (Alpha.80)
Depth = [(8-worthless) + deep + (8-empty) + powerful + (8-ordinary)] / 5.
Smoothness = [easy + (8-tense) + pleasant + smooth + (8-uncomfortable)] / 5.
Positivity = [(8-sad) + pleased + definite + (8-afraid) + (8-unfriendly)] / 5.
Arousal = [(8-still) + excited + fast + (8-peaceful) + aroused] / 5.
Note that only 20 of the 21 SEQ items are used in these indexes. The remaining one is the first session evaluation item‚ bad-good‚ which tends to be used differently by clients than by therapists.
