This measure is designed to assess individual differences in perceived preparedness and willingness to provide help in stressful or emergency contexts. The Psychological Readiness to Provide Assistance Scale is intended for use in training, program evaluation, and group-level needs assessment where helping behavior and crisis response readiness are relevant.
The instrument includes 32 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Items sample attitudes and self-appraisals related to initiating assistance and functioning under pressure; results are generally interpreted to identify relative strengths and areas where additional training or support may be indicated. Development is attributed to Albert Bandura and Martin E. P. Seligman.
The Psychological Readiness to Provide Assistance Scale may be used with diverse groups (e.g., varying by age, occupation, or role) to compare readiness profiles and to monitor change following educational or skills-based interventions. Interpretation should consider the assessment context and is best integrated with other sources of information when used for applied decision-making.
