Personal Resource Losses and Gains Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

This questionnaire assesses perceived changes in personal resources in the context of stress and life challenges. The Personal Resource Losses and Gains Questionnaire is designed to capture both losses and gains across internal and external domains that may support coping and adaptation.

Developed by Stevan E. Hobfoll, it consists of 60 items and typically takes about 11 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to characterize patterns of resource change over a specified period, helping to identify areas of vulnerability as well as potential protective factors. The Personal Resource Losses and Gains Questionnaire may be used in clinical, counseling, or research settings to inform case formulation and to monitor change over time.
