WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Social Role Adequacy Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

family roles family

This measure is designed to assess perceived fit and functioning in everyday social and family role expectations. The Social Role Adequacy Scale is intended for brief screening of how comfortably and effectively an individual experiences their customary roles in the family system.

Items focus on the degree of alignment between personal experience and perceived role demands, with attention to potential strain when expectations and self-perception do not match. The instrument includes 12 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete.

Results may be used to support clinical formulation regarding role-related stressors and family dynamics, and can be considered alongside other sources of information rather than as a standalone indicator. The Social Role Adequacy Scale is attributed to Alice H. Eagly.
