WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Self-Consciousness Scale, SCSR Test

Self-Consciousness Scale (SCS-R) Test - Symptoms and Signs

self-awareness

This self-report instrument assesses individual differences in habitual self-focused attention. The Self-Consciousness Scale (SCS-R) is commonly used to characterize how frequently a person attends to internal experiences and to awareness of the self in social contexts.

The measure includes 22 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture private self-consciousness (attention to one’s thoughts and feelings) and public self-consciousness (awareness of how one may be perceived by others). The Self-Consciousness Scale (SCS-R) was developed by Carver and Scheier and is used in both clinical and research settings as a descriptive measure of self-attentional tendencies.
