| Popis: | Despite criticism, the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) is one of the most widely cited measurement instruments in the stress literature. This research assesses several criticisms of the SRRS after years of widespread use. Specifically, the authors evaluate content-related criticisms, including differential prediction of desirable relative to undesirable life events, controllable relative to uncontrollable life events, and contaminated relative to uncontaminated life event items. On balance, the authors find that the SRRS is a useful tool for stress researchers and practitioners. |
