The Modified Perceived Stress Scale

In order to understand how non-linguistic and psychosocial factors influence aphasia treatment outcomes, we modified and validated a measure of chronic stress for people with aphasia. The resulting scale (the Modified Perceived Stress Scale or mPSS; based on Cohen & Janicki-Deverts, 2012, and modified with permission) may be used clinically, as well as to examine associations between chronic stress and other clinically significant variables.

If you are interested in using the modified Perceived Stress Scale, please contact rhp@udel.edu.
