WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Social Support Questionnaire, F-SozU Test

Social Support Questionnaire (F-SozU) Test - Symptoms and Signs

social support

This measure assesses perceived availability of social support and related social resources in everyday life. The Social Support Questionnaire (F-SozU) is commonly used to characterize an individual’s subjective sense of being supported by others.

The instrument consists of 22 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements reflecting perceived emotional and practical support, which can inform clinical case formulation and research on psychosocial functioning. Original development is attributed to Irwin G. Sarason and Barbara R. Sarason.

Scores from the Social Support Questionnaire (F-SozU) are generally interpreted as indicators of perceived support rather than objective social contact frequency, and can be used to identify areas of relative strength or potential gaps in an individual’s support network.
