Life Event Scales: Psychophysical Training and Rating Dimension Effects of Event-Weighting Coefficients.

Stone, Arthur A.; Meale, John M.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v46 n5 p849-53 Oct 1978

Subjects responded to questionnaires and rated events in the Social Readjustment Rating Scale. Some were given psychophysical training before rating events. Training did not have significant effect on ratings. Stressfulness ratings were consistently higher than those of social readjustment. Data suggest this effect interacted with the events rated.
