The CES-D consists of 20 items, each rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (rarely or none of the time) to 3 (most or all of the time), based on the frequency of symptoms experienced in the past week.

The STAI consists of 40 items, divided into two subscales: the State Anxiety Scale (S-Anxiety) with 20 items, and the Trait Anxiety Scale (T-Anxiety) with 20 items.Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale. For the S-Anxiety scale, the response options range from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so). For the T-Anxiety scale, the response options range from 1 (almost never) to 4 (almost always).

The BDI-II consists of 21 multiple-choice items, each describing a specific symptom or attitude associated with depression. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3, reflecting the severity of the symptom over the past two weeks.

The questionnaire consists of 12 items. Each item is rated on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 6 (Strongly Agree).

The Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) is a psychological assessment tool used to measure positive mental health. The MHC-SF is a shorter version of the Mental Health Continuum-Long Form (MHC-LF) and is designed to assess well-being across three dimensions: emotional well-being, social well-being, and psychological well-being. Each item is rated on a 6-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 ("never") to 5 ("every day"). The responses reflect the frequency of these positive experiences over the past month. Scores are calculated for each dimension, and a total score is obtained by summing the items. Higher scores indicate higher levels of well-being.

The Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) consists of four items that measure global subjective happiness. Respondents rate each item on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates "not at all" and 7 indicates "a great deal."

The ERQ consists of 10 items that assess two main strategies of emotion regulation:Cognitive Reappraisal and Expressive Suppression.Respondents rate each item on a Likert scale typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), indicating the extent to which they engage in each strategy.

The number of items in the ABAS-II (Second Edition) includes around 276 items across various domains and scale. The questionnaire is typically completed by a caregiver or teacher who observes the individual's behaviors over a period of time. It consists of items rated on a Likert scale or as frequency counts, depending on the specific item. Scores on the ABAS-II provide an overall picture of an individual's adaptive behavior functioning and can help in planning interventions and measuring progress.

The CBCL consists of items organized into several scales and subscales that assess behavioral and emotional problems in children. It includes two main versions:CBCL/6-18 (Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6-18), and CBCL/1.5-5 (Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5-5).

The CBCL is typically completed by parents or caregivers who rate the frequency and intensity of various behaviors observed in the child over a specified period. Items are scored on a 3-point Likert scale (0 = Not True, 1 = Somewhat or Sometimes True, 2 = Very True or Often True).

The Couples Satisfaction Index (CSI) typically consists of 32 items that assess various dimensions of relationship satisfaction. Respondents rate on a Likert scale, typically ranging from 1 (Very Dissatisfied) to 7 (Very Satisfied).
