    Area of Science:

    • Psychometrics
    • Psychological assessment
    • Stress research

    Background:

    • Stress is a significant factor in overall health and well-being.
    • Accurate measurement of stress complaints is crucial for effective intervention.
    • Existing measures may not fully capture the multifaceted nature of stress.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate the Strain Questionnaire (SQ), a 48-item scale.
    • To assess self-report levels of behavioral, cognitive, and physical stress complaints.
    • To provide psychometric data supporting the SQ's reliability and validity.

    Main Methods:

    • Administered the 48-item Strain Questionnaire (SQ) to a diverse sample of 412 adults.
    • Conducted correlational analyses, reliability tests (internal consistency and test-retest), and factor analysis.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of the SQ.

    • Main Results:

    • The SQ demonstrated high internal consistency across its three subscales and the total score.
    • Test-retest reliability indicated satisfactory temporal stability of the scale.
    • Factor analysis revealed eleven orthogonal factors, with "cognitive/behavioral strain" being the most prominent.

    Conclusions:

    • The Strain Questionnaire (SQ) is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring stress complaints.
    • The prominence of cognitive/behavioral strain underscores its importance in stress assessment.
    • The SQ is suitable for use in self-report surveys investigating stress.
