WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Methodology for Measuring Altruistic Attitudes Test

Altruistic Attitudes Scale Test

altruism social attitudes

The measure is designed to assess self-reported prosocial and helping orientations in everyday social situations. The Altruistic Attitudes Scale is commonly used to characterize altruistic attitudes and motivations in research or applied screening contexts (Batson).

The respondent rates reactions to brief scenarios reflecting willingness to benefit others, engagement when someone is in need, and inclination to participate in supportive actions. It contains 23 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete.

Scores from the Altruistic Attitudes Scale may be used to summarize the relative strength of altruistic attitudes and to support comparisons across individuals or groups when interpreted within the relevant clinical or research context. Results should be considered alongside additional sources of information rather than as a standalone indicator of functioning.
