Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methodologies are commonly used to illuminate the predictors and impacts of experiencing subjective stress in course daily life. The validity inferences from this research is contingent on availability measures perceived that can provide valid reliable scores. However, studies development validation such have been lacking. In study, we use an EMA data collection design examine within- between- person reliability convergent between-person gender measurement invariance a brief EMA-adapted measure widely trait stress: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Scores showed high internal consistency significant correlations with range at both level. Gender up scalar level also held for Findings support PSS presented current study community-ascertained samples address questions relating influences effects their differences.
