What is the LEAS-C
The LEAS-C is a 12-item self report measure assessing the complexity and differentiation of children’s representations of emotional experience. This instrument has been developed from the adult based LEAS.

This manual provides a general introduction to the LEAS-C.A more substantial and informative scoring manual is necessary and can be ordered from Dr. Richard Lane at To assist scoring, a glossary of emotion words is also provided in this manual.
