Stanton, Jeffrey M.; Balzer, William K.; Smith, Patricia C.; Parra, Luis-Fernando; Ironson, Gail

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v61 n5 p866-88 Oct 2001

Developed the Stress in General Scale and studied its validity with three samples of adult workers (n=4,322; n=574; and n=34). Evidence converged on the existence of two distinct subscales, each of which measured a different aspect of general work stress. Studies also resulted in meaningful patterns of correlations with stressor measures. (SLD)
