Situational Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale (CSE) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure evaluates the degree to which a person’s sense of self-worth fluctuates in response to situational cues such as approval, criticism, or social evaluation. The Situational Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale (CSE) is intended to clarify how externally contingent self-evaluation may be associated with affective reactivity and behavioral responses.
It contains 15 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate how their self-regard changes across common interpersonal or performance-related situations, supporting clinical formulation and treatment planning where self-worth instability or approval-seeking is a concern.
The Situational Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale (CSE) was developed by Connie T. Wolfe and Jennifer Crocker and is commonly used in counseling and psychotherapy contexts as an adjunct to broader assessment of self-esteem regulation and vulnerability to evaluative stress.
