Dispositional Egoism Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure is designed to assess a stable tendency toward self-focused attitudes and behavior. The Dispositional Egoism Scale is administered as a brief set of statements rated by the respondent.
It consists of 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Scores are used to summarize dispositional egoistic orientation, which may be considered when describing interpersonal style or patterns of prioritizing personal versus others’ interests in applied or research settings.
The Dispositional Egoism Scale is attributed to C. Daniel Batson and Robert A. Emmons. Interpretation should be integrated with other clinical or assessment data and the relevant evaluation context.
