Readiness for Age-Related Changes Scale Test
This measure assesses an individual’s attitudes and perceived preparedness for normative changes associated with aging. The Readiness for Age-Related Changes Scale provides a structured self-report format to help characterize acceptance, concern, and perceived capacity to adapt to age-related transitions (Baltes & Lachman).
The instrument includes 84 items and typically takes about 16 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support clinical formulation by identifying potential areas of adjustment difficulty and informing discussion about coping strategies and expectations.
In applied settings, the Readiness for Age-Related Changes Scale may be used with adults across the lifespan to guide assessment of emotional and cognitive appraisals of aging-related change and to monitor perceived readiness over time.
