Traditional College Student Stress Scale
The life of a college student can be stressful. To gain an understanding of the stress level of college students a study was conducted. A random sample of 100 undergraduate college students attending a University on ground was given the "Traditional College Student Stress Scale." They were not asked to return the form but only to anonymously submit the total score along with their age.
*While it is not necessary to answer the questions below, you can access the Stress Scale questions in the "A Life Stress Instrument of Classroom Use" article, page 47.
