Here is a quick yet reliable way to identify the
psychosocial factors that help individuals withstand the adverse
effects of daily stress. The Stress Profile published by
Western Psychological Services, provides targeted information about
specific lifestyle and health behaviours that might be contributing to
stress-related illnesses for particular individuals.
This convenient self-report inventory includes 15 scales
and generates scores expressed as Health Risk Alerts and Health
Protection Resources. These scores are particularly useful in
organisational settings-as part of wellness, health promotion, and
stress management programs-and in clinical settings, where physical and
psychosomatic problems must be evaluated.
The Stress Profile measures:
- Work/Life Stress
- Lifestyle Habits
- Social Support
- Cognitive Hardiness
- Type A Behaviour
- Coping Style
- Psychological Well-Being
- Response Distortion
- Health Risk Alerts
- Health Protection Resources
An optional computer report provides detailed treatment
recommendations that give the individual and the organisation specific
steps to take in order to reduce stress and maximise heath.
