TOSCA-3
Test of Self-Conscious Affect (TOSCA-3)
The TOSCA-3 is a self-report questionnaire that measures self-conscious emotional reactions, such as shame, guilt, embarrassment, and pride, in response to various imagined social situations. It helps explore patterns of emotional responses that may be relevant for clinical assessment or for research on personality, empathy, or emotion regulation.

Scoring & interpretation
Each scenario is followed by several potential responses to be rated on a Likert scale. The responses are scored and then summed according to different subscales (shame, guilt, pride, detachment, etc.). High scores on a subscale indicate a more pronounced tendency to experience that emotion in everyday situations.
