Understanding Your Score on the Perceived Stress Scale
The perceived stress scale estimates the extent to which recent events in your life are appraised as stressful. It taps into the degree to which you believe events in your life are currently unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloading. The scale is not restricted to specific situations, so is appropriate for people in a variety of situations (e.g., students, executives, children). Scores on the perceived stress scale range from 0 to 56. Higher scores indicate that you perceive your current life situation as stressful. Based on samples of over 1,000 people (mostly college students in the United States), the average score is around 24 for men and 25 for women.
