It is commonly used for interethnic and interpersonal attitudes, including tolerance and stereotypes. The target concepts are defined by the administration based on the assessment purpose.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Relationship Diagnostic Test - Symptoms and Signs

ethnopsychology identity tolerance

This instrument is designed to assess evaluative and emotional attitudes toward interpersonal or intergroup targets. The Relationship Diagnostic Test uses a structured rating format to capture affect-laden appraisals that may be difficult to articulate directly.

It consists of 96 items and typically requires about 18 minutes to complete. Administration can support clinical or research contexts in which the goal is to characterize patterns of affective evaluation (e.g., valence and intensity) associated with social perceptions, with results interpreted in conjunction with other clinical data.

When used appropriately, the Relationship Diagnostic Test may help identify stable attitude tendencies and potential discrepancies between explicit statements and underlying evaluations. Authorship is attributed to John M. Gottman.
