Toronto Alexithymia Scale
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Toronto Alexithymia Scale is a measure of deficiency in understanding, processing, or describing emotions.[1] It was developed in 1986[2] and later revised, removing some of the items. The current version has twenty statements rated on a five point Likert scale.
The reliability and validity of the TAS-20 was established by a series of articles by R. Michael Bagby et al.[citation needed]
It has been researched extensively.[3]
