WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Peer Relationship Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

bullying

When peer conflict emerges in a classroom or youth group, brief screening can help clarify patterns of interaction. The Peer Relationship Scale is a short self-report measure intended to characterize a respondent’s experiences with peers in terms of supportive versus aggressive behavior, including indicators commonly associated with peer victimization and bullying. It is attributed to Kenneth H. Rubin and William M. Bukowski.

The instrument consists of 15 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Responses are used to summarize perceived peer dynamics and can support clinical or school-based decision-making by identifying areas that may warrant follow-up assessment or targeted intervention. The Peer Relationship Scale is not diagnostic and should be interpreted in the context of other information (e.g., collateral reports, observations, and relevant developmental and cultural factors).
