WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Digital Daily Life Self-Management Scale, DDL-SM Test

Digital Daily Life Self-Management Scale Test

cyberpsychology

This measure is designed to screen how individuals manage and regulate everyday functioning in digitally mediated contexts. The Digital Daily Life Self-Management Scale is intended to capture self-reported patterns related to use of digital devices, online social engagement, and the subjective emotional experience of ongoing connectivity. The scale is attributed to Roy F. Baumeister.

The instrument contains 20 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Responses may be used to support clinical or research-informed discussions about digital self-regulation, including attention and time management, perceived quality of digital social connections, and affective responses to persistent technology use. Findings from the Digital Daily Life Self-Management Scale should be interpreted in context and integrated with other clinical information rather than used as a standalone diagnostic indicator.
