Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (USAQ) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure assesses unconditional self-acceptance and the extent to which self-worth is maintained despite perceived mistakes, failures, or others’ evaluations. The Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (USAQ) is commonly used to support case formulation when concerns involve self-esteem, perfectionism, or evaluation sensitivity.
It consists of 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items are answered via self-report and are intended to provide an index of the respondent’s general stance toward self-acceptance versus conditional self-regard.
Developed by Michael E. Bernard and Albert Ellis, the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (USAQ) may be used in clinical and counseling settings to inform treatment planning and monitor change over time when self-evaluative beliefs are a focus.
