Validation of the Perceived Stress Scale in a community sample of older adults
Open accessAbstract
Background: Three versions of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS‐14, PSS‐10, and PSS‐4) are among the most widely used measures of stress. The aim of the current study was to validate this instrument in a sample of nondemented older adults to facilitate studies of the impact of stress on health. Methods: Seven hundred sixty‐eight nondemented adults over the age of 70 years completed the PSS‐14 questionnaire and other neuropsychological tests. Exploratory factor analysis was used to determine the underlying factor structure of all PSS versions, and confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the construct validity of factors. The internal consistency reliability of the scales was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, and concurrent validity was evaluated by examining PSS relation with age, gender, depression, anxiety, and Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule. Results: A two‐factor model was the optimal fit for the 14‐item and 10‐item versions of PSS. For PSS‐14, all items' loadings exceeded 0.4 for one of the two factors except item 12. Therefore, we studied a 13‐item version of PSS and 10‐item and 4‐item subsets representing PSS‐10 and PSS‐4. Internal consistency coefficients were satisfactory for the full scale of PSS‐13 and PSS‐10 but not for PSS‐4. Women reported higher levels of stress than men. Higher levels of total PSS scores showed association with higher levels of depression, anxiety, and negative affect, and lower level of positive affect. Conclusions: The 13‐item and 10‐item versions of PSS may be used to understand the experience of stress among older adults. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
