WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Social Role Adequacy Test - Symptoms and Signs

family roles family

This brief self-report measure assesses perceived fit between an individual’s typical behavior and socially defined expectations for common roles in close relationships and family contexts. Social Role Adequacy is intended to support clinical formulation by identifying areas of role strain or mismatch that may be associated with interpersonal conflict or stress (Alice H. Eagly). The instrument includes 12 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete.

Results from Social Role Adequacy may be used to describe perceived consistency between internal attitudes and external role demands and to guide discussion of role-related expectations within a family or household system. Scores should be interpreted in context with collateral information and other assessment data, rather than as a standalone diagnostic indicator.
