The Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ) is a well-established instrument for measuring achievement emotions in educational research and beyond. Its popularity rests on the coverage of the component structure of various achievement emotions across different academic settings. However, this broad conceptual scope requires the administration of 6 to 12 items per scale (Mdn = 10), which limits the applicability of the AEQ in empirical studies that necessitate brief administration times. We therefore developed the AEQ-S, a short version of the AEQ, with only 4 items per scale that nevertheless maintain the conceptual scope of the instrument. We validated the AEQ-S based on a reanalysis of Pekrun, Goetz, Frenzel, Barchfeld, and Perry's (2011) dataset (N = 389 university students) and by administering them to a new and independent validation sample (N = 471 university students). Despite their brevity, the AEQ-S scales achieved satisfactory reliability and correlated substantially with the original AEQ scales. Moreover, structural relationships and intercorrelations between the scales and their relations with external measures of antecedents and outcomes of achievement emotions were highly similar for the AEQ-S and AEQ scales. These findings suggest that the AEQ-S is a suitable substitute for the AEQ when administration time is limited.

成就情感问卷（AEQ）是一种成熟的工具，用于衡量教育研究及其他领域的成就情感。它的受欢迎程度取决于对跨不同学术背景的各种成就情感的组成结构的覆盖。但是，这种广泛的概念范围要求每标尺管理6到12个项目（Mdn  = 10），这限制了AEQ在需要短暂管理时间的经验研究中的适用性。因此，我们开发了AEQ的短版AEQ-S，每刻度只有4个项目，但仍保持了仪器的概念范围。我们基于对Pekrun，Goetz，Frenzel，Barchfeld和Perry（2011）数据集的重新分析来验证AEQ-S（N = 389名大学生），并将其管理到一个新的独立验证样本中（N  = 471名大学生）。尽管它们简短，但AEQ-S量表仍具有令人满意的可靠性，并且与原始AEQ量表基本相关。此外，对于AEQ-S和AEQ量表，量表之间的结构关系和相互关系以及它们与前因的外部量度和成就情绪的结果之间的关系非常相似。这些发现表明，当给药时间有限时，AEQ-S是AEQ的合适替代品。
