WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Prosocial Identity Content (GSA) Test - Symptoms and Signs

moral prosociality

This measure is designed to assess the degree to which moral and helping-related values are integrated into an individual’s self-concept. Prosocial Identity Content (GSA) is commonly used to characterize the salience of prosocial values and the extent to which these values are reflected in everyday interpersonal behavior.

Developed by Daniel Batson, the instrument consists of 16 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Responses are intended to support a brief, structured appraisal of prosocial identity content, including the perceived importance of moral principles and self-reported motivation to act consistently with those principles. Prosocial Identity Content (GSA) may be used in clinical and research contexts as an adjunct to broader assessment when questions about values-based functioning and helping orientations are clinically relevant.
