Detailed Description+

Assesses social integration in various areas of life.
People are considered to be socially integrated if they handle their instrumental tasks (dealing with their workload, active involvement in social and family life) with a sense of well-being and are able to maintain emotional links with their fellow human beings. The level of social integration can vary in different fields of life and it is therefore assessed separately for different situations. This integration can be impaired in a number of mental and psychosomatic disorders. The test is therefore used to clarify the respondent’s health status and verify the success of treatment in clinical neuropsychology.

Task+

Respondents state how often in the last two weeks they have experienced various behaviors or emotional states. They also answer questions on their general life situation.
