Background/Description
The Perceived Comfort Scale (PCS) is a 10-item self-report measure of perceived comfort. It was first published in 1996 by Anderson, Anderson, and Deuser in a study of weapon and temperature effects. The scale has since been used in a series of studies that are currently being prepared for a chapter in the Advances in Experimental Social Psychology series. Researchers may use the scale free of charge for research purposes.
Administration, Scoring and Interpretation
- Introduce the scale and explain the instructions. Tell the participant that the PCS is a self-report measure of perceived comfort. Explain that they will be asked to rate how comfortable they feel on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being “not at all” and 5 being “very much.”
- Read each item aloud and ask the participant to rate their level of comfort. If the participant is unable to read, you can read the items to them.
- Score the scale. Reverse score the items as indicated in the scoring instructions. The total score ranges from 10 to 50, with higher scores indicating greater perceived comfort.
- Thank the participant for their time.
