Clinical Anger Scale (CAS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure is designed to screen the severity of anger-related symptoms and their impact on functioning. The Clinical Anger Scale (CAS) provides a brief, structured way to quantify clinically relevant anger experiences in an individual.
The instrument includes 21 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Items assess common features of problematic anger (e.g., intensity, frequency, behavioral expression, and interpersonal consequences) to support initial clinical impressions and to track change over time when used repeatedly.
Scores from the Clinical Anger Scale (CAS) are intended to be interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data and other relevant assessment information, rather than used as a standalone diagnosis.
