• Relational and Health Correlates of Affection Deprivation (2014, methodology): “Alexithymia was measured with the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale developed and extensively validated by Taylor, Bagby, and Parker (2003).”
• Impaired self-awareness and theory of mind: An fMRI study of mentalizing in alexithymia (2006, neutral): “In the initial screening for high and low alexithymia, each subject had completed the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20: Taylor et al., 2003; Komaki et al., 2003).”
• Anterior Insular Cortex and Emotional Awareness (2013, positive): “Among the popular tools to measure trait alexithymia is the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), which assesses three aspects of emotional deficits: difficulty in identifying emotions, difficulty in describing emotions, and externally oriented thinking style (Taylor et al., 2003).”
• Assessing Alexithymia: Psychometric Properties and Factorial Invariance of the 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale in Nonclinical and Psychiatric Samples (2017, background): “60 (e.g., Cleland et al., 2005; Kooiman et al., 2002; Loas et al., 2001; Taylor et al., 2003; Thorberg et al., 2010; but see Parker, Taylor, & Bagby, 2003), indicating that more than 50% of the variance in this subscale score is usually attributable to error variance.”
• Reliability and Factorial Validity of the Turkish Version of the 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) (2009, methodology): “The internal reliability coefficients of the Turkish TAS-20 were satisfactory, with a lower Cronbach’s alpha for factor 2, which has been reported in some studies (23,26,27).”
