Revised Self-Monitoring Scale (RSMS)

Description

The RSMS is a 13-item other-report questionnaire to measure the sensitivity and responsiveness to emotional and non-verbal cues in daily life.

Each item is rated on a 6-point Likert-scale from “never true” to “always true”. There is an additional option “not judgeable”.

Scoring

Total score is the average score of all items.

Additionally, two sub-scores can be calculated:

  • Ability to modify self-presentation (mean score of 7 items)
