WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Adolescent Prosociality Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

This measure is designed to assess adolescents’ self-reported tendency to engage in voluntary, other-oriented helping behaviors. The Adolescent Prosociality Scale provides a brief snapshot of prosocial dispositions relevant to peer, school, and community contexts.

The instrument includes 16 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate the frequency or typicality of behaviors such as offering support, comforting others, and assisting when someone is in need.

Scores may be used to inform clinical or school-based screening and to support treatment planning or progress monitoring related to social functioning, empathy, and cooperative behavior. The Adolescent Prosociality Scale was developed by N. Eisenberg and G. R. Carlo.
