The RSQ
30 descriptive items. Self-rated/ other-rated.
Interviewees score each item on scale of 1-5 to show
level of agreement.
Examples:
I find it difficult to depend on other people.
I’m not sure that I can always depend on others to be there
when I need them.
I worry that others don’t value me as much as I value them.
I often worry that romantic partners won’t want to stay with
me.
