WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Social Responsibility Scale (SRS) Test - Symptoms and Signs

prosociality

This brief self-report measure is used to screen for an individual’s tendency to endorse and follow shared social norms and role expectations. The Social Responsibility Scale (SRS) provides a rapid indicator of attitudes related to responsibility toward others and adherence to group standards.

The instrument includes 12 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Items are answered in a fixed-response format and yield a summary score that may be used as a descriptive index in clinical, counseling, organizational, or research settings.

The Social Responsibility Scale (SRS) was authored by F. H. Gough. Interpretation should be integrated with collateral information and relevant contextual factors, and the scale is not intended as a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
