Life Adaptation Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

This questionnaire is designed to screen an individual’s perceived adjustment to everyday demands across common life contexts. The Life Adaptation Questionnaire is intended for brief use in educational or other group settings to help identify areas where additional support may be indicated.

Respondents answer 15 items in about 3 minutes, reflecting typical reactions and coping behaviors in routine situations (e.g., school or social stressors). Results are generally used to inform follow-up discussion, monitor change over time, and guide decisions about whether further evaluation or targeted intervention is warranted.

The Life Adaptation Questionnaire is attributed to John W. Berry.
