The study included assessment of the psychometric properties of all 11-item measure of perceived stress and control in 273 first-year College students. Results indicated good internal consistency and stability over a 5-week interval, and the total score was highly correlated with another measure of perceived stress. Principal components analysis with varimax rotation indicated two possible factors which explained 55%, of the variance. However, given the small number of items and low internal consistency of the second factor (alpha=.60), use of the Total score is recommended.
