Fear of Negative Evaluation & Approval-Seeking Scale
Explore how much others' opinions and approval affect your sense of self.
What it measures
This scale measures the need for others' approval and fear of negative evaluation — patterns that affect self-confidence and how one navigates social situations. It is an educational tool, not a diagnostic instrument.
Who it is for
Suitable for anyone wishing to understand how others' opinions influence their sense of self-worth.
How it works
You will read twelve statements and rate how well they apply to you on a scale from 1 (not at all true of me) to 4 (completely true of me). Some items are reverse-scored.
