Goal Disengagement and Reengagement Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
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.
