GUZMAN-YACAMAN, Jaime Enrique  e  REYES-BOSSIO, Mario. Adaptation of the Global Perceived Stress Scale in college peruvian students. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.2, pp.719-750. ISSN 0254-9247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.201802.012.

The present study aims to validate the Global Perceived Stress Scale on a Peruvian college students sample, involving young scholars of a state-funded program. The adaptation process involved a double translation from the original version, a linguistic comparison using the scales adapted in Chile and Mexico, and judgement criteria, as well as a pilot test. Participants were 332 college scholarship students. Results with the Confirmed Factorial Analysis confirmed the bifactorial model of the EPGE-13. Moreover, convergent and divergent validity was done with the SPANAS test. Likewise, the scale demonstrate adequate reliability (internal consistency, α = .79 for the factor of eustress and α = .77 for the factor of distress). Demographic results indicated that there was more perceived stress in women than in men. There were no significant differences in stress according to birthplace.
