One of the most widely used scales for the evaluation of stress is the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and it has been adapted into different languages. However, few studies have presented normative data from large samples, and there do not appear to be any studies of the PSS that provide normative data based on large samples for Mexico. Thus, the goal of this study was to provide normative data regarding gender and different age groups for a sample of 1990 Mexican subjects to validate the factor structure of the construct for this sample. The analysis of the 10- and 14-item versions of the PSS revealed that the scale had adequate reliability and that the factor structure was consistent with previous studies. With respect to the normative data, the means of the different groups ranged from 20.93 to 25.63 for the PSS14 and from 14.52 to 17.73 for the PSS10. We propose that scores within one standard deviation of these means be used as reference values for each group.
用于评估压力的最广泛使用的量表之一是感知压力量表（PSS），它已经被翻译成不同的语言。然而，很少有研究从大样本中提供规范数据，而且似乎没有任何基于大样本的针对墨西哥的 PSS 研究提供规范数据。因此，本研究的目的是为 1990 名墨西哥受试者的样本提供关于性别和不同年龄组的规范数据，以验证该样本的结构的因子结构。对 PSS 的 10 项和 14 项版本的分析表明，该量表具有足够的可靠性，并且因子结构与先前的研究一致。关于规范数据，不同组的平均值在 PSS14 中从 20.93 到 25.63，在 PSS10 中从 14.52 到 17.73。我们建议将这些平均值一个标准差范围内的分数用作每个组的参考值。
