Scale
(Chinese, English, German, Russian Versionen)







The BDSST is a short instrument for the recording of perceived general daily stressors in eight different areas of life. It is particularly suitable for use in large-scale studies or as a screening instrument for localizing areas of life where stress is particularly prevalent. A five-level Likert scale is used to measure the extent of the perceived stress experience. The more areas of life are affected and the higher the level of information, the more pronounced the subjective experience of general everyday stress.

The instrument has been used in the following studies:
