Stress Test - Symptoms and Signs
In clinical and research settings, the Acute and Chronic Stress Scale is a brief self-report measure designed to characterize perceived stress as both time-limited (acute) and persistent (chronic). It is intended to support structured screening and monitoring of stress-related experiences over time.
Respondents rate 30 items in about 6 minutes, yielding separate indicators of acute and chronic stress. Developed by Sheldon Cohen and Richard S. Lazarus, the Acute and Chronic Stress Scale can be used to inform case formulation, guide follow-up assessment when elevations are observed, and document change in response to intervention or evolving circumstances.
