WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) Test

family adaptation family

This measure is used to assess relationship functioning and partners’ adjustment to one another. The Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) is a brief self-report questionnaire intended to characterize the overall quality of a couple relationship, including perceived agreement, cohesion, and satisfaction.

It consists of 20 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Responses can help identify areas of relational strain (e.g., conflict frequency or reduced satisfaction) and can be used to inform clinical case conceptualization, treatment planning, or research on couple functioning. The Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) is commonly administered in adult partner dyads and interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data and other relevant measures.
