| Background |
In the workplace and at home, stress and other difficult situations are at an all-time high. Factors such as job insecurity, long hours, continuous change and unrealistic deadlines can cause serious problems for workers. On the home front, going through a divorce, caring for children or elderly parents or dealing with a life-threatening illness are common situations that put people under stress. |
| What the test measures |
The SAQ assesses seventeen dimensions of stress covering possible sources, common symptoms, coping style, personality factors, and impact on mental health. For information about the reliability and validity of the test, click here... |
