WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Questionnaire on Engagement in Cybersocialization Test

Cyber Socialization Engagement Questionnaire Test

cyberpsychology social networks

This self-report measure assesses patterns of engagement with online socialization and digital environments. The Cyber Socialization Engagement Questionnaire is intended to characterize how an individual integrates digital interaction into daily life, including potentially adaptive and maladaptive aspects. It was described by Patricia M. Greenfield, Sonia Livingstone, and Sherry Turkle.

The instrument consists of 27 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. It yields a structured profile of engagement that may be used to support clinical formulation or research on digital behavior, with interpretation integrated alongside other assessment data and the individual’s developmental and psychosocial context. The Cyber Socialization Engagement Questionnaire is not a diagnostic tool and should be considered a screening measure of self-reported experiences and behaviors.
