Yes, there are several psychometric tools and questionnaires designed to measure relaxation and related constructs in the field of psychology and healthcare. These tools are commonly used in research and clinical practice to assess an individual's level of relaxation and the effectiveness of relaxation interventions. Here are a few commonly used measures:

Perceived Stress Scale (PSS): While not a direct measure of relaxation, the PSS assesses the degree to which individuals perceive situations in their lives as stressful. Lower scores on the PSS can indicate a higher level of relaxation.

State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI): This questionnaire measures both state (temporary) and trait (long-term) anxiety levels. A decrease in state anxiety scores after a relaxation intervention can indicate increased relaxation.

Visual Analog Scale (VAS): VAS is a simple self-report tool where individuals mark their level of relaxation on a continuous line ranging from "not relaxed at all" to "completely relaxed."

Relaxation Response Scale (RRS): This scale is specifically designed to measure the relaxation response, which is a physiological state characterized by reduced stress and increased relaxation. It assesses various aspects of the relaxation response.

Profile of Mood States (POMS): POMS includes a "Tension-Anxiety" subscale that can be used to measure relaxation. Lower scores on this subscale suggest increased relaxation.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV): While not a traditional psychometric tool, HRV is a physiological measure that can indirectly indicate relaxation. An increase in HRV is often associated with a relaxed state.

Subjective Units of Distress (SUDS): This is a simple self-report scale used in relaxation and exposure therapies. It asks individuals to rate their level of distress or relaxation on a numerical scale.

The Relaxation Inventory (RI): This inventory assesses various aspects of relaxation, including physical and mental relaxation.

When working on a relaxation practice or intervention, it's essential to select the most appropriate tool based on your research goals and the specific aspects of relaxation you want to measure. Additionally, consider consulting with a psychologist or psychometrician to ensure that your measurement tool is valid and reliable for your purposes.
