Questions and Answers

What does the SRRS measure?

  • Uplifts
  • Physiological responses
  • Daily hassles
  • Life changes (correct)
  • How are the life change units calculated in the SRRS?

  • By dividing the sum of mean scores by 1000
  • By averaging scores assigned by independent raters (correct)
  • By multiplying the number of events by 10
  • By adding up uplifts and hassles scores
  • What is the purpose of the Hassles and Uplifts Questionnaire?

  • To measure physiological responses
  • To assess daily hassles and uplifts (correct)
  • To determine the effects of adrenaline on stress
  • To predict illness based on hospitalization
  • What is measured by Skin Conductance Response (SCR) or Galvanic Skin Response (GSR)?
