| Sumario: | The purpose of the present study is to validate the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS, Levenstein et al., 1993) on a university student‟s sample. To this mean, 315 university students (male and female, SD = 4.26) were intentionally recruited to answer the PSS. Psychometric studies were developed to evaluate internal structure, internal consistency and external validity. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a factor structure of three dimensions that explained the 50,1% of variance: 1) Tension and exhaustion; 2) Overburden and 3) helplessness. Additionally, Cronbach ́s αvalues were observed to be optimal for the three factors of the scale (among .85 and .87). The psychometric studies developed in this study suggest that the PSS is reliable and valid to be used in cordobese university students. However this study is preliminary, therefore more studies are needed to supplement these findings. |
