Abstract
The aim of the study was to build a physical pleasure-displeasure scal e (P-PDS) and to test its reliability in 295 subjects (normals and dep ressives). The construct validity was studied by a principal component analysis and by the Cronbach alpha coefficient. Concurrent validity w as determined in relation to Chapman's Physical Anhedonia Scale. Test- retest reliability was also studied. The normative data of the PDS-P i n normal subjects are given.
