WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Rosenberg Trust Scale Test

social trust

This brief self-report measure is used to screen generalized interpersonal trust and broad expectations about the trustworthiness of other people. The Rosenberg Trust Scale provides a rapid snapshot of a respondent’s baseline trust orientation across common social situations.

Developed by Morris Rosenberg, it consists of 3 items and typically takes about 1 minutes to complete. Responses are summed to yield a total score that can be used to compare trust levels across individuals or groups and to track change over time in research or screening contexts.

The Rosenberg Trust Scale is generally interpreted as a global index of trust rather than a diagnostic instrument, and results should be considered alongside relevant contextual, cultural, and situational factors.
