Perceived Stress Scale - Self Report |

In each case, respondents are asked how often they felt a certain way.; lower scores are more favorable. |

Parenting Stress Index - Short Form |
This measure is a brief version of the Parenting Stress Index, a widely used and well-researched measure of parenting stress. The PSI-SF has 36 items from the original 120-item PSI. Items are identical to those in the original version. It was developed in response to clinicians' and researchers' need for a shorter measure of parenting stress and was based on Castaldi's factor analysis of the original PSI, which suggested the presence of three factors. It yields scores on the following subscales: 1) Parental Distress, 2) Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction, and 3) Difficult Child. Similar to the full PSI, it also has a validity scale. |
