Total Score:____________COLLEGE STUDENT'S STRESSFUL EVENT CHECKLIST -- INSTRUCTIONS On the following page you will find a checklist that will help you and your adviser determine if there is undue stress in your life. In this checklist, each item signifies a life event that requires an individual to make a readjustment or a change in his or her life. Such changes produce stress in our lives, even if the event is a pleasant one. Therefore, a step toward reducing stress is to become aware of the sources of stress in your life. By assigning values to these 32 potential stress producers, you can determine whether you have experienced low, moderate, or high stress in the past year. This scale in its original format is from a 15-year research of stress in adults conducted by insurance companies. It has been modified to apply to college students and may only be considered a rough indication of stress levels and health consequences. In the original checklist designed for adults, the higher the stress level the more likely one was to have illness within the coming year. For example, if one had a stress score of 300 or greater, that person was almost certain to have illness requiring time off from work within the next year. Persons with low stress in their lives had significantly fewer cases of illnesses. Instructions: Place an “X” in the column labeled “Happened” for those events that have occurred in your life recently or that you expect to occur soon. Total your score by adding the event values, and circle that category below in which your score falls. Total Score:____________ Mild Stress: < 150 Moderate Stress: 150 to 300 Severe Stress: > 300 The checklist on the following page is from: T.H. Holmes and R.H. Rahe (1967).
