Determine your PSS score by following these directions: Important: LEAVE YOUR ORIGINAL RATINGS as you first entered them. When you get to 4,5,7, and 8, put your rating on the left side of . Now, next to those original ratings, you will “reverse” your ratings for 4,5,7, and 8. Put the reversed ratings on the right side of . Only for these four questions (4,5,7, and 8), the NEW ratings you will use should be put next to the original ratings and will be based on these rules: 0 = 4, 1 = 3, 2 = 2, 3 = 1, and 4 = 0. Example, if my original rating for item 5 was 3, that cell will look like this: 3 1 After reversing those 4 ratings, add up all 10 ratings. That’s your total score. It should be between 0 and 40. Higher scores indicate higher perceived stress. My total score is: _____ Scores ranging from 0–13 would be considered low perceived stress. Scores ranging from 14–26 would be considered moderate perceived stress. Scores ranging from 27–40 would be considered high perceived stress. This puts me in the _____ (low, moderate, high) perceived stress range. |

For all other questions, use the number you wrote down as the score. After reversing those two ratings, add up the six ratings to determine your total score. My total score is: _____ There are no specific cutoffs for the GQ-6. U.S. college students tend to have average scores in the 35-38 range, so one simple interpretation is to compare your score to the average. My score puts me in the following range for gratitude (place an X) _____ below average (lower than 35) _____ average (35 through 38) _____ high (higher than 38) |
