Uncertainty Response Scale (URS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is designed to assess how individuals respond to ambiguous or unpredictable situations. The Uncertainty Response Scale (URS) focuses on typical coping strategies and emotional reactions that may arise when faced with uncertainty.
The instrument consists of 25 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. It may be used in clinical, school, or research settings to support case formulation and to monitor response patterns over time when uncertainty is a salient stressor. Authors: Gudela Grote and Nancy K. Napier.
Scores from the Uncertainty Response Scale (URS) are generally interpreted as indicators of response tendencies (e.g., avoidance versus information seeking) rather than as standalone diagnostic findings, and should be considered alongside clinical interview data and other relevant measures.
