CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures agreement with the view that social life is a competitive struggle in which people use manipulation and deceit to get ahead. Higher scores indicate a stronger expectation of rivalry and self-interest in others.

How is this different from views of the world as dangerous?

A dangerous-world view centers on threat, instability, and the need for strong control to maintain order. A competitive-world view centers on status, power, and winning over others.

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

Completion time is about 3 minutes. The questionnaire includes 12 statements.

How should responses be selected?

Rate each statement based on general beliefs, not a single event or a specific person. Use the full range of response options when appropriate.

How should results be interpreted?

Scores reflect the strength of competitive assumptions about people and society rather than objective accuracy. Results are best interpreted alongside other measures and relevant context.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Measuring faith in a competitive world Test

Competitive World Beliefs Scale Test

social attitudes beliefs

Social beliefs shape how individuals interpret others’ intentions and behavior in social contexts. The Competitive World Beliefs Scale is a brief self-report measure designed to assess the extent to which a person views the social world as competitive and interpersonal relations as driven by self-interest.

Respondents rate agreement with statements reflecting perceptions of rivalry, exploitation, and zero-sum outcomes. The measure contains 12 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. As described by C. R. Snyder, the Competitive World Beliefs Scale may be used in clinical and research settings to inform case conceptualization and to examine how competitive worldviews relate to interpersonal functioning, trust, and conflict-related tendencies.
