CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures common body and nervous system reactions that occur during stress. Results indicate how pronounced these reactions are and whether follow-up may be helpful.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion time is about 7 minutes. The questionnaire includes 38 items.

What time period should be used when answering?

Use the past few weeks unless the item specifies a different time frame. If symptoms vary, select the option that best reflects the usual level.

How should items about physical sensations be answered?

Rate what is typically noticed during stress, not what is expected or preferred. If uncertain, choose the closest option rather than leaving items blank.

How are results used?

Scores are used for screening and for tracking change over time after stress-management or health interventions. The questionnaire does not provide a medical diagnosis.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Scale for assessing psychophysiological stress response Test

Psychophysiological Stress Response Rating Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

stress resistance

This instrument assesses self-reported psychophysiological manifestations associated with stress exposure. The Psychophysiological Stress Response Rating Scale is intended to support rapid appraisal of the intensity and persistence of stress-related symptoms in clinical or occupational screening contexts.

The measure consists of 38 items and typically requires about 7 minutes to complete. Results may help identify individuals who may benefit from further evaluation, monitoring over time, or targeted supportive interventions. The Psychophysiological Stress Response Rating Scale is not diagnostic on its own and should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview, relevant history, and other assessment data.
