<em>Stress is a very common and unavoidable emotional strain among college students. The full domain of college stress has multiple dimensions, each with a unique perspective. The current study examines the unidimensionality and reliability of a 48-items standardized scale designed to measure perceived college stress among students. This Perceived Stress Inventory (PSI) consists of five subscales; each measuring a unique aspect of college stress. To test of unidimensionality and reliability of PSI, factor analysis and psychometric properties were examined. The analyses are based on the data that were collected from 302 college students. The results of this study show that the all five subscales of the Perceived Stress Inventory (PSI) are reliable and each of them is unidimensional.</em>

Abstract. The present study introduces a revised Sense of Coherence (SOC) scale, a new conceptualization and operationalization of the resilience indicator SOC. It outlines the scale development and aims for testing its reliability, factor structure, and validity. Literature on Antonovsky’s SOC (SOC-A) was critically reviewed to identify needs for improving the scale. The scale was investigated in two samples. Sample 1 consisted of 334 bereaved participants, Sample 2 of 157 healthy controls. The revised SOC Scale, SOC-A, and theoretically relevant questionnaires were applied. Explorative and confirmatory factor analyses established a three-factor structure in both samples. The revised SOC Scale showed significant but discriminative associations with related constructs, including self-efficacy, posttraumatic growth, and neuroticism. The revised measure was significantly associated with psychological health indicators, including persistent grief, depression, and anxiety, but not to the extent as the previous SOC-A. Stability over time was sufficient. The study provides psychometric support for the revised SOC conceptualization and scale. It has several advantages over the previous SOC-A scale (unique variance, distinct factor structure, stability). The scale could be used for clinical and health psychological testing or research into the growing field of studies on resilience over the life span.
