Abstract

The Trait Meta-Mood Scale has three subscales: Attention, Clarity, and Repair. However, among 202 undergraduates, a four-factor model fits best when accounting for data point censoring. Factor 4, Fortitude, measures one’s resilience to emotional influence on their outlook. TMMS scoring should include a subscale based upon this factor.
