Psychological Problems of Adolescents in Real and Virtual Environments Test - Description and methodology of the test
Designed for adolescents, caregivers, educators, and others trying to understand everyday pressures, this Psychological Problems of Adolescents in Real and Virtual Environments Test maps concerns across offline and online contexts. As an adolescent psychological problems test, it offers a structured starting point for discussing support, coping, relationships, and changing responsibilities, while showing which areas may deserve closer reflection without reducing a young person to a single score.
What This Assessment Explores

The dimensions include:
- School-Related (1-5) indicates problems: Low 1-2.03; Moderate 2.04-3.88; High 3.89-5.
- Internet-Related Problems (1-5) indicates difficulties: Low 1-1.5; Moderate 1.51-3.4; High 3.41-5.

Methodology and Scientific Basis
Questions use first-person statements about future uncertainty, loneliness, peer interaction, parent conflict, internet use, workload, school atmosphere, and perceived threats. This self-report format uses five response options from strong disagreement to strong agreement, with a neutral middle choice. The themes connect everyday situations to the broader profile, but no single answer should be read alone.
Scoring presents a profile across the displayed dimensions, with values on a 1-5 scale and low, moderate, or high interpretation bands. The online scoring does not state an item-by-item weighting rule, so readers should not infer how many points any answer contributes. For an adolescent psychological assessment, compare patterns across areas and consider current circumstances.
The Regush et al. (2023) questionnaire is the closest published match for the domains and item themes. This online questionnaire is conceptually consistent with that work, not established as a standardized adaptation. Seiffge-Krenke (1988) adds developmental coping context but does not validate these scores. This online version has no stated normative sample, reliability estimate, or clinical threshold; the result is not a diagnosis and is best read with the adolescent’s lived context.
