WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Futurophobia Scale Test

uneasiness

Fear about the future can meaningfully affect adolescents’ mood, behavior, and decision-making, even when it is not immediately apparent. The Futurophobia Scale is a self-report measure designed to assess subjective anxiety and apprehension related to anticipated future events (Segal).

The instrument includes 50 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. Items are phrased to encourage candid endorsement of worries and fears rather than “right answer” responding.

Scores from the Futurophobia Scale are intended to support clinical or school-based screening and to help identify youth whose future-oriented anxiety may interfere with planning, daily functioning, and adjustment; results should be interpreted in the context of a broader assessment.
