| Summary: | The present study examined the frequency with which individuals with anxiety experienced positive and negative emotions during the completion of daily occupations. Participants were 89 individuals with a self-reported diagnosis of anxiety who completed the Emotional Experiences in Activities of Daily Living Scale (EEADLs) and State-Trait Inventory for Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety (STICSA). Individuals with high anxiety demonstrated more negative emotions but no differences in positive emotions during completion of personal care and household tasks with high physical and cognitive demands. Assessing emotions experienced during occupations can help inform recommendations to improve occupational balance and engagement in individuals with anxiety. |
