為編擬一套適合國人使用的成人生活壓力知覺測量工具，本研究以 Holmes和Rahe 的「社會再適應問卷」為藍本，經過多種程序修改增刪，擬成「成人生活壓力知覺量表」。內容包括57個生活壓力事件，除了以再適應所需花費的努力和時間給予評分外，並對壓力事件的「喜不喜歡」，「能否控制」、「能否得到幫助」以及「半年內會否經歷」加以評量。試測工作在臺北市古亭與龍山區抽樣進行。結果顯示量表評分部份的內在一致性頗高；而不同背景的人對生活壓力事件的排行頗爲一致，但對某些特殊事件的評分仍有差别。除評分以外，其他向度的評量亦表現出與評分的關聯性。

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 Kouting 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.
