Questionnaire on Coping Responses in Dangerous Situations Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure assesses typical coping responses when an individual encounters or anticipates dangerous situations. The Questionnaire on Coping Responses in Dangerous Situations uses brief scenario-based prompts to elicit likely behavioral and cognitive reactions to perceived threat. It contains 17 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete.
Responses are commonly summarized into patterns reflecting risk appraisal and action tendencies (e.g., heightened threat perception, minimization of threat, uncertainty, or more adaptive responding), which can inform clinical formulation and targeted skills coaching. The Questionnaire on Coping Responses in Dangerous Situations may be used as a screening or adjunct measure in settings where rapid characterization of safety-related coping is clinically relevant.
