Perceived Stress Scale1.1.3

Answer its questions to estimate how much stress you perceive in everyday life. The assessment examines your personal experience of stress rather than simply counting stressful events occurring around you. It gives Android users a focused way to check their perceived stress when they want a personal assessment.

Scores from the assessment have been associated with difficulty quitting smoking and with difficulty controlling blood sugar among people with diabetes. They have also been associated with vulnerability to depressive symptoms after stressful life events and with experiencing more colds. These relationships do not make an individual score a diagnosis or guarantee a personal health prediction. Interpretive value may decline after four to eight weeks because daily hassles, major events, and available coping resources can change perceived stress.

The app suits people seeking a self-assessment and health or wellbeing situations in which perceived stress is being monitored. Perceived Stress Scale is open-source software for Android, and version 1.1.3 requires Android 5.0 or newer with Universal architecture. This release targets Android SDK 35 and updates its library dependencies. In the no-ads app version, it also updates the support URL. It is categorized as Health & Fitness.
