The Situational Self-Awareness Scale (SSAS)

The SSAS is a 9-item Likert-type scale. The scale forms three factors: private self-awareness, public self-awareness, and attention to the situation. Several validation studies are reported by Govern and Marsch (2001).

You can get a PDF version of the SSAS here.

A German version of the scale, translated by Winfried Höping, is available here.
