CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures attitudes toward other people, including openness, acceptance, and the tendency to judge or exclude. Results summarize general interpersonal acceptance rather than specific relationships.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion time is about 4 minutes. The standard form contains 18 statements.

How should responses be given?

Each statement should be answered based on typical behavior and usual attitudes. Responses should not be based on a single recent event.

How are scores interpreted?

Higher scores generally indicate greater acceptance of others and lower social bias. Interpretation should consider context, and scores are not a diagnosis.

Are there different versions or scoring keys?

Some adapted forms may omit items or contain scoring-key errors due to translation issues. Item wording and scoring should be verified before analysis to avoid distorted results.
