The Global Assessment of Recent Stress (GARS) Scale was developed to assess current stress perception. Most measurements of environment are derived from life event scales that capture amount of stress or change associated with stressful events that have occurred over the past six to twenty-four months. A scale that provides a more immediate estimate of stress is needed when physiological tests and perceived stress are studied together. The GARS has been subjected to a series of studies concerning its reliability, validity, and factor structure. Results suggest that it may be a useful instrument for helping individuals assess their current feelings of stress.
全球近期压力评估（GARS）量表旨在评估当前的压力感知。大多数环境测量来自生活事件量表，这些量表记录了过去六到二十四个月内发生的与压力事件相关的压力或变化量。当同时研究生理测试和感知压力时，需要一个能更直接估计压力的量表。GARS已经接受了一系列关于其信度、效度和因子结构的研究。结果表明，它可能是帮助个人评估其当前压力感受的有用工具。
