This brief self-report measure is used to screen for apathy-related symptoms that may affect motivation, interest, and emotional engagement. The New Apathy Scale provides a rapid snapshot of apathy severity in individuals who may otherwise appear generally functional.
The instrument consists of 12 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. It is intended to support clinical or research decision-making by identifying the presence and relative degree of apathy-related features and can be used as a starting point for follow-up assessment or clinical interview. The New Apathy Scale is commonly attributed to Robert D. Marin.
