About This Measure
A 40-item True/False measure of social anhedonia — the reduced capacity to experience pleasure from social interactions and relationships. Elevated scores indicate a diminished hedonic drive toward interpersonal contact, characteristic of schizoid and schizophrenia-spectrum presentations. Used in research to differentiate schizoid social disinterest from anxiety-driven social avoidance.
