Relational-Interdependent Self-Construal Scale (RISC) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure assesses the degree to which an individual’s self-concept is defined in relation to close others. The Relational-Interdependent Self-Construal Scale (RISC) is commonly used to characterize relational aspects of identity in research and clinical assessment contexts. It was originally described by Hazel Rose Markus and Shinobu Kitayama.
The instrument consists of 11 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Responses are used to estimate the extent of relational self-construal (i.e., how strongly personal identity is experienced through close relationships such as family, friends, or romantic partners). The Relational-Interdependent Self-Construal Scale (RISC) may be included as part of a broader battery when relational orientation is clinically or empirically relevant.
