Perceived Stress Theory
Auch bekannt als: PSS Model · Cohen Stress
Theory that stress is determined not by objective events but by the degree to which one appraises situations as unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloading. Perceived stress reflects the gap between demands and coping resources, yielding two factors: perceived helplessness and perceived self-efficacy.
