Perceived Stress Scale – 10 items

Description:

One of the unique goals of this chapter was to compare the psychometric qualities of the shorter version of the PSS with the original 14-item scale. With the large sample size provided by the Harris survey, we were able to determine that the PSS10 provides as adequate a measure of perceived stress as the longer scale. (author abstract)
