Fear of Happiness Scale (Gilbert)

The scale only has nine items, so it shouldn’t take more than five minutes.

The version by Joshanloo has five items, and the rating scale is between 1 to 7.

Yes, you may use the Fear of Happiness Scale to gauge the severity of your fear of happiness, but please don’t make any medical-related decisions or self-diagnose yourself with anything. Don’t even think this is a substitute for therapy. If your fear of and aversion to happiness negatively impacts your overall mental well-being, please seek help from a professional.
