CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures the tendency to disengage from goals that are no longer attainable or appropriate and the ability to commit to new goals. Scores reflect goal adjustment style, not overall success or ability.

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

Completion typically takes about 2 minutes. The questionnaire includes 10 items.

How should items be answered?

Answer each item based on typical reactions across situations rather than a single recent event. Use the full response range and avoid overthinking each statement.

What is the difference between disengagement and reengagement?

Disengagement refers to reducing effort and letting go of commitment to a goal that is no longer workable. Reengagement refers to identifying new goals and investing effort and interest in them.

How should results be interpreted?

Results are usually reported as two separate scores, one for disengagement and one for reengagement. Interpretation is best made in context with other clinical information and current circumstances.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Goal Disengagement and Reengagement Scale Test

achieving success determination

This brief self-report measure assesses individual differences in how people respond when goals become unattainable. The Goal Disengagement and Reengagement Scale examines tendencies to let go of no-longer-feasible goals and to identify and commit to alternative goals when circumstances change.

It contains 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items are designed to capture disengagement from blocked goals and reengagement with new, meaningful goals; results are commonly used in clinical and research contexts to describe goal adjustment processes relevant to coping and adaptation. The Goal Disengagement and Reengagement Scale was developed by Gregory E. Miller and Carsten Wrosch.
