WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Recovery Locus of Control Scale (RLOC) Test - Symptoms and Signs
Perceptions of personal control during rehabilitation can shape engagement and adherence to treatment. The Recovery Locus of Control Scale (RLOC) is a brief self-report measure designed to assess whether an individual attributes recovery outcomes primarily to internal factors (e.g., personal effort) or to external factors (e.g., chance or others).
It contains 9 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Items are phrased as short statements rated by the respondent, yielding an index of recovery-related locus of control that can be used to inform clinical formulation and guide supportive, motivational, or psychoeducational interventions. The Recovery Locus of Control Scale (RLOC) was developed by Johnston and Partridge.
