Term Description

The PSS is a self-reported measure designed to deal with the degree to which situations in an individual's life are appraised as stressful. It was originally developed as a 14-item scale that assessed the perception of stressful experiences over the previous month using a five-point Likert scale. Later, the authors reported that the 10-item version (PSS-10) showed stronger psychometric characteristics in comparison to the 14-item scale (Cohen & Williamson, 1988).
