“…A melhor estrutura fatorial para a amostra foi composta por 10 itens (PSS-10; M2). Os resultados apresentados concordam com a literatura (Cohen & Williamson, 1988;Lee, 2012;Lesage, Berjot, & Deschamps, 2012;Leung, Lam, & Chan, 2010) que em sua maioria sugere que a estrutura reduzida de 10 itens apresenta melhor validade e confiabilidade quando aplicada a diferentes amostras. Outro aspeto de convergência entre os dados apresentados e a literatura é a constatação de que a estrutura reduzida com quatro itens apresenta qualidades métricas inferiores às demais versões para avaliação do constructo estresse percebido (Lee, 2012;Leung et al, 2010).…”

ResumoObjetivo: Apresentar uma versão em português (pós-acordo ortográfico) da Escala de Estresse Percebido (PSS-14), e estimar sua validade e confiabilidade em universitárias brasileiras. Método: Realizaram-se validações de face e conteúdo. Realizou-se análise fatorial confirmatória (n = 1081) e utilizando-se como índices de ajustamento a razão qui-quadrado por graus de liberdade (χ²/gl), Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Normed of Fit Index (NFI) e o Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA). Avaliou-se a estabilidade do melhor modelo em amostras independentes por análise multigrupos e a invariância pela diferença do qui-quadrado (Δχ²) para os pesos fatoriais (λ), Covariância entre fatores ( AbstractAim: To present a Portuguese (post-orthographic agreement) version of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and estimate its validity and reliability in Brazilians female college students. Method: The face and content validity were estimated. Confirmatory factor analysis (n = 1081) was conducted and the goodness-of-fit indices used were the chi-square by degrees of freedom ratio (χ²/df), the Comparative Fit Index (CFI), the Normed Fit Index (NFI) and the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA). The stability of the best model for independent samples was verified by multigroup analysis and the invariance by difference of chi-squares (Δχ²) for factor weights (λ), covariance between factors (Cov), and residues (Res). The convergent validity was estimated by the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) and Composite Reliability (CR). The concurrent and divergent validity of PSS were estimated by Pearson's correlation analysis (r) with the Weight Concerns Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory, respectively. The internal consistency was estimated by standardized Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α). Results: The 10-item version (PSS-10) showed better fit to the sample (χ²/df = 10.69; CFI = .90; GFI = .93; RMSEA = .09). The convergent validity was below recommended (AVE = .34; CR = .84). The internal consistency (α = .83) was adequate. The structure was stable in the independent sub-samples. The concurrent and divergent validity were adequate. Conclusion: The PSS-10 presented adequate validity, reliability and stability in independent samples of university students.

Occupational Status Moderates the Association Between Current Perceived Stress and High Blood Pressure

H ypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular mortality worldwide and has several known risk factors, such as obesity, smoking, and excessive alcohol or salt intake.1 However, most patients with hypertension lend great importance to psychological stress in the regulation of blood pressure (BP) and in the need for taking antihypertensive drugs.2 Although acute psychological stress is associated with a transient BP elevation, 3 epidemiological studies do not consistently show chronic psychological stress to affect BP in the long term.4 Some studies found positive associations between psychological stress and hypertension, 5,6 whereas others showed no 7,8 or even negative associations. 9,10Reasons for these conflicting results can be potentially attributed to differences in the evaluation of psychological stress (eg, objective measures versus subjective measures) or outcomes (eg, BP threshold values, use of antihypertensive drugs). As regards psychological stress, objective measures quantify the exposure to several kinds of stressors (eg, stressful life events, occupational stress), whereas subjective measures, such as perceived stress, quantify the psychological Abstract-Although lay beliefs commonly relate high blood pressure (BP) to psychological stress exposure, research findings are conflicting. This study examined the association between current perceived stress and high BP, and explored the potential impact of occupational status on this association.

“…Though still relatively few methods in organizational psychology are investigated, interest in them is constantly growing [5]. Occupational stress assessment [6,7] has been the most popular of these. Also, a relatively small number of methods dedicated to the evaluation of emotional state at work has been put forward in literature [5].…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to verify psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Job-related Affective Well-being Scale (JAWS). Specifically, theoretical 4-factor structure (based on the dimensions of pleasure and arousal) and reliability of the original -20-item JAWS (van Katwyk et al., 2000) and the shortened -12-item (Schaufeli and Van Rhenen, 2006) versions were tested. Material and Methods: Two independent samples were analyzed (police officers, N = 395, and police recruits, N = 202). The Polish version of the original, 20-item, JAWS was used to measure job-related affective states across the past month (van Katwyk et al., 2000). This version of JAWS includes 2 dimensions: valence and arousal, which allow to assess 4 categories of emotions: low-arousal positive emotions, high-arousal positive emotions, lowarousal negative emotions and high-arousal negative emotions. Results: The results of multidimensional scaling analysis showed that the theoretical circumplex model of emotions underlining JAWS was satisfactorily reproduced. Also the hypothesized 4-factor structure of the Polish version of JAWS was confirmed. The 12-item version had better fit with the data than the original, 20-item, version, but the best fit was obtained for the even shorter, 8-item version. This version emerged from a multidimensional scaling of the 12-item version. Reliabilities of the 20-and 12-item versions were good, with lower values for the 8-item JAWS version. Conclusions: The findings confirmed satisfactory psychometric properties of both Polish versions of the Job-related Affective Well-being Scale. Thus, when both psychometric properties and relevance for cross-cultural comparisons are considered, the 12-item JAWS is recommended as a version of choice.
