This assessment chart for stressful events of adult life is based on the social readjustment rating questionaire by Holmes and Rahe to fit the need by Chinese people. The final version of the chart was prepared through joint efforts of the authors. It is composed of 57 stressful events to be used for rating. Points were given to each event based upon time length and efforts required for readjustment. Assessment also made for the factors of like/dislike, able/unable to control, help/no help and event in six months or not. Pretest of this chart was carried out in the Routing and Lunshan districts of Taipei city by random sampling. The results indicate that consistence of the chart is high; ranking of events by different people with different background is compatible; but difference exists in certain accidents. Readjustment ratings are closely associated with assessments on other factors. |
