This questionnaire deals with attitudes and beliefs which some people have about themselves.
Please indicate how much you agree or disagree with each statement by ringing the single number in each section which represents how you typically feel most of the time.
Since people vary so much in the opinions they hold‚ there are no right or wrong answers.

Scores on the Robson SCQ
NB You do not have to score the Robson yourself (or any of the others) — the database has an automatic scoring system‚ and experience in the pilot was that there is a high rate of human error in scoring this particular questionnaire! The information below is for those who are interested only.
Scoring
Some items are scored as printed‚ others are reversed.
·         The 14 ‘normal’ items (Qu 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 6‚ 9‚ 10‚ 12‚ 15‚ 16‚ 18‚ 24‚ 26‚ 29‚ 30) have a full stop after the question number (e.g. 2.) — scoring for these is taken straight off the scale as printed.
·         The 16 ‘reversed’ items (Qu 4‚ 5‚ 7‚ 8‚ 11‚ 13‚ 14‚ 17‚ 19‚ 20‚ 21‚ 22‚ 23‚ 25‚ 27‚ 28) have a colon after the question number (e.g. 4:) — scoring is reversed for these (i.e. 0 = 7‚ 1 = 6 etc).
·         Add up the numbers obtained like this to get the total score.

Pooling the Robson control samples gives an estimate for the ‘normal’ mean in British samples = 139.2 (SD=19.9); so to simplify a bit for routine clinical use we take it as mean = 140‚ SD = 20.
