Abstract

The current study uses the Riverside Situational Q-Sort (RSQ v 3.15; Wagerman & Funder, 2009) in the Estonian student sample (n = 317), to investigate the applicability of the measurement tool in Estonia; the overall situational variability among the sample; and how the situational evaluations differ across the categories of situations. The results indicate that the tool can be used to measure subjective situational construals in a meaningful way on the Estonian student sample and that the situational evaluations can be meaningfully reflected on the basis of both subjective and objective situational categorizations.
