- Abstract
The present study introduces a short screening instrument for the measurement of experienced general daily stressors across different life domains that can be used in large‐scale studies. The brief daily stressors screening tool (BDSST) assesses the experience of general daily stressors in eight distinct life domains. General daily stressors are indicated for the past 12‐months on a five‐point Likert scale. The present study evaluates the BDSST in two successive studies. The first study was conducted in a representative German sample (n = 7,849). The second study was conducted to assess one‐month‐retest‐stability in another representative German sample (n = 1,294). The BDSST shows promising psychometric properties. It has a skewed positive distribution, internal consistency and stability are acceptable and its one‐factor structure was confirmed in a bifactor confirmatory factor analysis. The BDSST is a reliable and valid short instrument for the assessment of experienced general daily stressors in large‐scale studies and routine clinical practise. For in‐depth clinical assessment, it can be used to identify relevant life domains for further investigation.
