β¦ Synopsis
Because of increased stress conditions in college students, updated psychometrics of the Perceived Stress Scale, 10βitem version (PSSβ10; S. Cohen & G. Williamson, 1988) are necessary. Participants were 281 undergraduates at 3 public universities. An exploratory factor analysis revealed a 2βfactor structure measuring Perceived Helplessness and Perceived SelfβEfficacy. Normative results, internal consistencies, and construct validity were supported. The current findings reveal that the PSSβ10 is a reliable and valid instrument for assessment of perceived stress in college students.
