Description:

The purpose of this study is to validate a new personality inventory, titled The Loss of Grip Scale. This scale is used to assess “loss of grip,” which is defined as a mismatch between an individual’s dispositions (in this case personality traits measured by the BFAS) and specific situations in the individual’s life and environments. The items are phrased in an if-then format, to assess the degree to which an individual judges there to be a mismatch between their dispositional tendencies and situational demands that result in negative consequences.
