The properties of four global ratings of life stress were investigated using data from 237 elderly subjects interviewed using the Brown & Harris life event and difficulties schedule. The global ratings had high one-year test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability agreement. A summary measure of Adversity (based on contextual rating of all events and difficulties) may be reliably derived when a single index of life stress is desired. In the elderly sample Adversity was more closely related to chronic difficulties than to life-events.
使用布朗和哈里斯生活事件与困难量表对237名老年受试者进行访谈得到的数据，对四项生活压力总体评分的特性进行了研究。这些总体评分具有较高的一年重测信度和评分者间信度一致性。当需要一个生活压力单一指标时，可以可靠地得出一个基于所有事件和困难情境评分的逆境综合测量值。在老年样本中，逆境与慢性困难的关联比与生活事件的关联更为紧密。
