Sung, Yao-Ting; Chao, Tzu-Yang
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v48 n1 p44-58 Jan 2015
The tools used for measuring examination stress have three main limitations: sample selected, sample sizes, and measurement contents. In this study, we constructed the Examination Stress Scale (ExamSS), and 4,717 high school students participated in this research. The results indicate that ExamSS has satisfactory reliability, construct validity, and measurement-invariance validity.
