WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Appearance-Based Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

body image
social anxiety
fear of negative evaluation

This measure evaluates individual differences in anxious expectations of criticism or rejection based on physical appearance. The Appearance-Based Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire assesses how a person anticipates and emotionally responds to the possibility that others may judge or exclude them because of their looks.

The instrument includes 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Respondents rate reactions to brief interpersonal scenarios in which appearance could be salient, supporting clinical formulation of interpersonal vulnerability and self-evaluative concerns.

Results from the Appearance-Based Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire are intended to inform assessment and treatment planning by identifying patterns of appearance-related threat anticipation that may contribute to distress, avoidance, or heightened sensitivity to social feedback. Scores should be interpreted in the context of presenting concerns and other clinical information.
