This measure is designed to assess how well an adult re-engages with the emotional and interpersonal climate of the family after time spent in a different social environment. The Microsocial Relationship Adaptability Scale focuses on patterns of emotional response, cognition, and behavior that support maintaining a stable, functional style of communication in close relationships.
Items address perceived flexibility in adapting to current family dynamics, including the ability to set aside stressors carried over from outside roles and re-enter day-to-day routines. The instrument is attributed to John Bowlby and consists of 24 items, typically completed in about 5 minutes.
Scores from the Microsocial Relationship Adaptability Scale may be used to describe individual adaptability within the family context and, when administered across multiple members, to summarize overall family-level adaptability. Results are generally interpreted as one component of a broader clinical or psychosocial evaluation rather than as a standalone diagnostic indicator.
