Test of Object Relations

Test of object relations (TOR) is a self-rating instrument for measuring the quality of object relations in adulthood. It was developed by G. Žvelc and is based on psychoanalytic theory of object relations.  The test measures three dimensions (Dependence, Alienation and Self-Absorption) and six sub-dimensions of object relations (Symbiotic Merging, Separation Anxiety, Narcissism, Egocentricity, Fear of Engulfment and Social Isolation). The scale can be used freely for clinical and research purposes. If you would like to do a translation in another language, please write to us: gregor.zvelc@guest.arnes
