The Aron et al. (1992) overlapping circles question is often used as a measure for self-other interconnectedness. Often, it’s presented as seven options on a likert scale with seven sets of overlapping circles. Using the instructions in the website below, you can make a continuous measure of this question wherein participants drag one circle to overlap with the other on their own to indicate the percent of overlap they perceive between the two entities. This allows you to capture a more flexible, continuous measurement of interconnectedness from 0% to 100%.
