WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Pregnant Woman’s Attitude Test - Description and methodology of the test

pregnancy

motherhood

For expectant mothers who want to reflect on emotional adjustment during pregnancy, this questionnaire offers a structured way to consider feelings about pregnancy, birth, motherhood, and close relationships. The Pregnant Woman’s Attitude Test presents a profile across five patterns rather than a single overall judgment. Its format can help a respondent identify concerns and topics for thoughtful discussion about preparation for parenthood.

What This Assessment Explores

These themes cover mood, expectations, behavior, relationships, and attitudes toward pregnancy. Items address birth, motherhood, the baby, feeding, lifestyle, close relationships, and visibility in pregnancy.

The displayed dimensions are:

Depressive (0-9; Low 0-2, Moderate 3-6, High 7-9) reflects low mood, pregnancy-outcome worry, and negative thoughts.
Anxious (0-9; Low 0-2, Moderate 3-6, High 7-9) reflects anxiety from practical or inner concerns.
Euphoric (0-9; Low 0-2, Moderate 3-6, High 7-9) reflects demonstrative, attention-seeking behavior, influence over others, and exaggerated difficulties.
Hypogestognosic (0-9; Low 0-2, Moderate 3-6, High 7-9) reflects reluctance to change routines and possible inattention to care recommendations.
Optimal (0-9; Low optimal balance 0-3, Moderate optimal balance 4-6, High optimal balance 7-9) reflects responsible engagement, harmonious relationships, and healthy parenting development.

Methodology and Evidence Base

Each item offers five statements about a feeling, expectation, behavior, or relationship situation, and the respondent selects the option that fits best. The questionnaire displays separate scores with level bands; the contribution assigned to each selected answer is not specified. These ranges do not reveal an unstated point system, so a high score on one dimension is interpreted alongside the rest of the profile and current circumstances.

The closest named source for this pregnancy self-assessment is the instrument published by Dobryakov in 2001. Dobryakov’s 1996 typology, 2014 study of anxiety and depression, and 2015 theoretical work provide the relevant gestational-dominant framework. The online questionnaire is a self-report tool conceptually consistent with this framework, with descriptive bands but no stated digital standardization or population norms.

The items rely on self-report, so current stress, expectations, social desirability, and limited self-awareness can shape answers. Results are most useful as a starting point for examining the resulting profile and identifying questions to discuss in broader psychological or prenatal care.
