  16. Evaluate the impact of DMT on affect using scale

    Assessment of affect in different time points as baseline, 1, 2, 7, 14 and 28 days after dosing using the questionnaire Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). To score the positive affect items 1, 3, 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17 and 19 are summed up. Scores ranging from 10 to 50. Higher scores indicate higher levels of positive affect. To score the negative affect items 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18 and 20 are summed up. Scores ranging from 10 to 50. Higher scores indicate higher levels of negative affect
