Analysis

The Weinberger Adjustment Inventory is designed to assess psychological adjustment and emotional well-being, with particular emphasis on self-esteem and self-perception.

Objective

The primary aim of the questionnaire is to identify an individual’s levels of self-esteem, to understand how these affect their psychological adjustment, and to evaluate their ability to adapt to social and emotional situations, focusing on the strategies they use to cope with challenges.

Scoring

Scoring typically includes questions that participants rate on a Likert scale (e.g., from 1 – “Strongly disagree” to 5 or 7 – “Strongly agree”).
