Deenz Multidimensional Anhedonia Scale (DMAS-27)
normative dataset currently contains
202
participant records collected between
Jun 11, 2026
and
Jun 30, 2026
.
This psychometric dataset currently includes 202 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 64.59 with a standard deviation of 17.01, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.937). Observed skewness (-1.06) and kurtosis (1.29) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The distribution demonstrated mild departures from normality, although the overall score pattern remained broadly interpretable for preliminary normative purposes.

Item–Total Correlations
Item Analysis Interpretation
Item–total correlations were generally strong across the assessment, indicating that most items contribute effectively to the measurement of the underlying construct.
The analysis identified1
itemthat may benefit from future review.
Items Recommended for Future Review
Q27
(r = -0.02)
I often make little effort to enjoy activities I used to like.
The lowest item–total correlation was observed for Q27 ("I often make little effort to enjoy activities I used to like."; r = -0.02), indicating comparatively weaker alignment with the overall construct.

Normative Data Notice
A total of
202
participant responses were available for this assessment.
Dimension-level norms were calculated using
74
valid response records.
Approximately
128
response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.
Limitations
Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.
Ethical Statement
All records included in this dataset were collected anonymously. No personally identifying information is stored. Data are intended for educational, psychometric, and research purposes.
