“…The PSS has exhibited convergent validity and discriminant validity, with scores on the PSS having been shown to be significantly correlated with burnout, overall life stress, depression, and anxiety. [50][51][52] The instrument has also shown adequate test-retest reliability and satisfactory internal consistency, typically ranging from 0.72 to 0.86. 50,51,53 For the current study, Cronbach's α was acceptable (α = .70).…”

Purpose: Studies with experimental designs in which the association between participants’ subjective well‐being and their use of social media is studied remain rare. This study tested the effect of abstaining from social media use on participants’ well‐being, affect, perceived stress, and sense of perceived loneliness. Design and Methods: Randomized, controlled design. Sixty‐eight participants were randomized to one of two conditions. Findings: Those who abstained from social media use, compared with those in the control group, evidenced a decline in life satisfaction, an increase in negative affect, and an increase in loneliness. Practice Implications: Excessive social media use poses deleterious consequences for users, but abstinence may not necessarily exact positive changes; this outcome is dependent on the functions for which social media are used.

“…Developed by Cohen et al, (1983), the PSS measure is used to assess one's perception of the degree of a given situation in life is stressful. We used a 2-factor 10-item PSS for our study (Chiu et al, 2016). Chiu et al, (2016) reported that 2-factor 10-item PSS with appropriate Manuscript to be reviewed psychometric properties.…”

“…), and sample question of "counter stress" is (e.g., How often have you felt confident about your ability to handle personal problems?). tccording to Chiu et al, (2016) items 1,2, 3, 6, 9, 10 represent perceived distress; items 4, 5, 7,8 represent counter stress. Participant rated their experiences of stress by answering items with a 5-point Likert scale (0 = never, 1 = almost never, 2 = sometimes, 3 = fairly often, 4 = very often).…”

“…Under such consideration, when examining stress-burnout relationship if researchers include two type of stress (i.e., life stress and perceived stress) and differentiate the positive/negative components of perceived stress on the life stress-burnout relationship, they would be able to explore more knowledge about the interweaving relationships among athletes' life stress, perceived stress, and burnout. Especially, recent research on the psychometric properties of PSS (e.g., Barbosa-Leiker et al, 201;Chiu et al, 2016) confirmed that PSS comprises two factors as Cohen et al, (1983) suggested. ts to life stress, Lu et al, (2012) developed a sport-specific life stress scale which categorized athletes' life stress into two categories-general-life stress and sport-life stress.…”

Although many studies adopted Smith (1986) cognitive-affective model of athletic burnout in examining stress-burnout relationship, very few studies examined the mediating/moderating role of perceived stress on the stress-burnout relationship. We sampled 195 college student-athletes and assessed their life stress, perceived stress, and burnout. Correlation analyses found all study variables correlated. Two separate hierarchical regression analyses found that the "distress" component of perceived stress mediated athletes' two types of life stress-burnout relationship but "counter-stress" component of perceived stress moderated athletes' general-life stress-burnout relationship. We concluded that interweaving relationships among athletes' life stress, perceived stress, and burnout are not straightforward. Future research should consider the nature of athletes life stress, and dual role of perceived stress in examining its' association with related psychological responses in athletic settings.PeerJ reviewing PDF | (Abstract tlthough many studies adopted Smith (1986) cognitive-affective model of athletic burnout in examining stress-burnout relationship, very few studies examined the mediating/moderating role of perceived stress on the stress-burnout relationship.
