CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the test measure?
It assesses how a child represents adulthood and responsibility and how this internal image relates to everyday behavior. Results describe patterns of self-perception and typical behavioral strategies.
Who completes the questionnaires?
One form is completed by a parent or primary caregiver, and a separate form is completed by the child. Both rate the same types of situations to allow comparison.
How should items be answered?
Each item should be rated based on typical behavior, not a single unusual event. If unsure, select the response that best fits most of the time.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Estimated completion time is 19 minutes. The test includes 100 questions across the two questionnaires.
How are results interpreted?
Interpretation compares parent and child responses and examines score patterns across situations. Agreements and discrepancies highlight areas where expectations and self-perception match or differ.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
My Child’s Adultness Image Test - Symptoms and Signs
During the transition from late childhood into adolescence, self-concept and role expectations can shift rapidly. My Child’s Adultness Image is used to evaluate how a youth construes “being an adult” and how that image relates to everyday behavior, particularly in the family context. The measure is attributed to D. J. Levinson.
The instrument consists of about 100 items and typically requires about 19 minutes to complete. It is commonly administered in parallel parent and child forms that ask respondents to rate typical situations, supporting comparison of perspectives and identification of concordance or discrepancy in perceived maturity, responsibility, and behavioral strategies.
My Child’s Adultness Image may be used in school-based assessment, family consultation, and broader psychoeducational or clinical evaluations focused on adolescent development. Results are generally interpreted as an aid to case formulation and to guide discussion about expectations and developmental supports, rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic indicator.
