Scoring and Interpretation Information (cont.)


representing higher levels of stress. Percentiles are also presented,
comparing the results to a community sample (Cohen & Janicki-
Deverts, 2012). A percentile of 50 indicates that an individual is
experiencing an average level of stress when compared to other
members of society. Average scores are also calculated by
summing the scores divided by the number of items, and is a useful
metric for ascertaining the general level of agreement on the likert
scale (where 0 = Never and 4 = Very Often), as well as comparing
sub-scale scores using a consistent metric.

There are two subscales in the PSS-10:


1. Perceived helplessness (items 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10) - measuring an
individual’s feelings of a lack of control over their circumstances or
their own emotions or reactions.
2. Lack of self-efficacy (items 4, 5, 7, 8) - measuring an individual’s
perceived inability to handle problems.

Higher levels of psychological stress as measured by the PSS-10


have been associated with elevated markers of biological aging,
higher cortisol levels, as well as suppressed immune function,
greater infection-induced release of pro-inflammatory cytokines,
greater susceptibility to infectious disease, slower wound healing,
and higher prostate-specific antigen levels (Cohen & Janicki-
Deverts, 2012). Persons who score higher on the PSS also report
poorer health practices, such as sleeping fewer hours, skipping
breakfast, and consuming greater quantities of alcohol (Cohen
&Williamson, 1988).
