SPSI-R™

Social Problem Solving Inventory–Revised: Long (SPSI–R:L)

The SPSI–R:L provides a more detailed assessment with scores for all of the five scales, as well as scores for the four Rational Problem Solving subscales.

Social Problem Solving Inventory–Revised: Short (SPSI–R:S)

The SPSI–R:S measures the same five scales as the long version, but it does not break down the Rational Problem Solving scale into subscale scores. It is ideal for repeat administration during treatment to track progress.

The SPSI–R is a self-report instrument that consists of a long (SPSI–R:L) and short (SPSI–R:S) version. Both versions are available in handscored format with MHS QuikScore™ forms. With the QuikScore™ Form, raw scores are easily calculated and converted to standard scores.

The SPSI–R was developed following rigorous test-development procedures. The manual covers the historical foundation upon which SPSI–R is based and offers five case studies that illustrate the interpretation and use of SPSI–R results in different situations.

Evaluation of the psychometric properties of SPSI–R among various diverse populations suggests that it is characterized by strong internal consistency and is stable over time. Further, it has strong structural, concurrent, predictive, convergent, and discriminant validity. Detailed data is presented in the SPSI–R Technical Manual.

The SPSI–R normative sample included adolescents, young adults, middle-aged adults, and elderly adults with a total of 1,928 participants. Separate norms are included for each age group.
