Abstract
Three studies demonstrated (1) strong psychometric properties for the newly developed State-Trait Cheerfulness Inventory–State Version (STCI-S18) and (2) further validity through its associations with criterion validity measures and language use in written text. Interestingly, retrospective personality states impacted word usage but only in specific contexts and situations.
