In order to reduce the number of items for the SEES, five items with the highest factor loadings were selected for further analyses (Table 1). Thus, this resulted in four subscales that we termed happiness (containing the items cheerful, happy, optimistic, proud, confident), sadness (containing the items sad, depressed, bored, lonely, frustrated), anger (containing the items angry, furious, upset, irritated, jealous), and anxiety (containing the items anxious, worried, tense, uneasy, nervous). Internal consistencies of these subscales ranged between α = 0.713–0.800 (Table 2). Subscale scores of sadness, anger, and anxiety were positively correlated with each other while scores on happiness were negatively correlated with sadness and anxiety (Table 2). Mean scores on all subscales significantly differed from each other (all ts > 3.37, ps ≤ 0.001) in the following descending order: sadness > happiness > anger > anxiety (Figure 2A). Men had higher scores (M = 3.20, SD = 0.54) than women (M = 2.95, SD = 0.42) on the happiness subscale (p < 0.001) and had lower scores (M = 3.22, SD = 0.66) than women (M = 3.40, SD = 0.79) on the sadness subscale (p = 0.036). Men and women did not differ on anger and anxiety subscale scores (ps > 0.080). There were positive correlations between BMI and sadness (r = 0.256, p < 0.001), anger (r = 0.117, p = 0.05), and anxiety (r = 0.269, p < 0.001) subscale scores, but no correlation with the happiness subscale (r = 0.011, p = 0.856).
