Abstract

According to the Italian Health Ministry in 2017, more than 850,000 individuals in Italy have requested mental health services for various symptoms associated with psychological distress. Moreover, stress can affect not only individuals, but also their romantic relationships. To date, there is a lack of empirically validated measures that assess individuals’ perceptions of chronic and acute stressors. As such, the goal of the present study was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chronic and Acute Stress Index (CASI), a multi-item self-report measure designed to assess perceptions of chronic and acute stressors that originate from individuals and affect their romantic relationships. Utilizing self-report data from 849 individuals from Italy collected before June 2019, the CASI was found to have good reliability and showed appropriate convergent validity with stress and negative affect, and discriminant validity with relationship satisfaction and positive affect. Limitations and future directions as they pertain to research, practice, and consultation are discussed.

意大利版慢性和急性压力指数(CASI)的验证:一种自我报告测量，旨在评估个人在恋爱关系中的压力

根据意大利卫生部2017年的数据，意大利有超过85万人因与心理困扰相关的各种症状而要求心理健康服务。此外，压力不仅会影响个人，还会影响他们的恋爱关系。迄今为止，缺乏经验验证的措施来评估个人对慢性和急性压力源的看法。因此，本研究的目的是开发和评估慢性和急性压力指数(CASI)的心理测量特性，CASI是一种多项目自我报告测量，旨在评估来自个人并影响其浪漫关系的慢性和急性压力源的感知。利用2019年6月前收集的849名意大利人的自我报告数据，发现CASI具有良好的信度，对压力和消极情绪具有适当的收敛效度，对关系满意度和积极情绪具有适当的判别效度。局限性和未来的方向，因为他们有关的研究，实践和咨询进行了讨论。
