PY - 2016 DA - 2016/05/23 TI - The German version of the Perceived Stress Scale – psychometric characteristics in a representative German community sample JO - BMC Psychiatry SP - 159 VL - 16 IS - 1 AB - The Perceived Stress Scale Cohen (J Health Soc Behav 24:385-96, 1983) is a widely and well-established self-report scale measuring perceived stress. However, the German version of the PSS-10 has not yet been validated. Thus, the purposes of this representative study were to psychometrically evaluate the PSS-10, and to provide norm values for the German population.
