Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale
Assess your stress level by identifying significant events that have occurred in your life over the past 12 months. Each event carries a predefined stress score. This scale, created in 1967, remains a worldwide reference.
The Holmes and Rahe stress scale (1967) is one of the most widely used tools in health psychology. It measures the cumulative impact of stressful life events over the past 12 months, each weighted by an empirically established stress score. A high score is correlated with an increased risk of developing illness within two years (original study of 5000 patients).
Points forts
- + Tool validated on thousands of patients since 1967
- + Stress scores empirically established for 43 life events
- + Allows objectification of stress that is often underestimated
Limites

- - Dated scale (1967), some modern events absent
