Perceived Stress Scale PSS-10
10 questions · 2 min
Shows how unpredictable, uncontrollable and overloaded your life has felt in the last month. It measures not the events themselves but how you experience them.
How to answer
The questions are about the last month: how often you felt or thought a certain way. Don’t try to count exactly: just choose the closest answer. Some questions are about good things (coping, things going well): answer them just as honestly.
