What does this questionnaire measure?

It estimates how strongly family needs influence decisions, time use, and follow-through on responsibilities. It also reflects willingness to make trade-offs to support stability and well-being.

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

Completion time is about 4 minutes. The questionnaire includes 20 items.

How should responses be selected?

Select the option that best matches typical behavior, not ideal intentions. Use a general pattern over the past several months rather than a single recent event.

Does prioritizing family mean spending the most time at home?

Not necessarily. The scoring considers practical support and sustained responsibility in addition to time spent together.

How should results be interpreted?

Results describe relative emphasis on family responsibilities compared with other priorities and may highlight areas for adjustment. They are not a diagnosis and should be combined with other information when used in counseling.
