The following options are based on the scale developed by Kim (1970) and adopted by
Rajendran and Kaliappan (1990) and Rao (2012) and were adopted in this research.
This scale consists of 40 items describing the stress in your senior high school life from
various sources. The level of stress you feel for each item can be indicated by marking a ‘✓’
mark in the boxes from the table given against each statement.
If you feel No Stress put a ‘✓’ mark in the 1st box (NS), Slight Stress in the 2nd (SS),
Moderate Stress in the 3rd (MS), High Stress in the 4th (HS), and you feel Extreme Stress put a
‘✓’ mark in the 5th bracket (ES).
