The Perceived Social Competence Scale (PSCS; Anderson-Butcher, Iachini, & Amorose, 2008) is a 4-item, Likert-scaled measure of children’s and youth’s social competence. The PSCS was developed by the first author for use in after-school youth development programs.

Developed as part of a study on mechanisms associated with a lack of acceptance by one's family, the Social Competence Scale (Komter, Voorpostel & Pels, 2011) measures social competence. The scale was constructed reflecting the respondent’s social life, by combining 11 items.
Consequently, the goal of this is to describe the Social Competence—Teacher Version (T-Comp), a free, valid, and reliable measure of social competence that can be used easily by school social work practitioners with K–12 students.
