Abstract

The Daily Record Form (DRF) was developed as a brief instrument for measurement of daily perceived stress and psychosomatic complaints. An adult community-based sample completed the DRF in three, 2-week periods across one year. In addition, several established measures of stress and psychological symptoms were completed at these three time points. DRF perceived stress ratings were strongly associated with global indices of stress and were substantially correlated with concurrent SCL-90-R symptom total and daily psychosomatic complaints. The use of the DRF in stress and coping research and the potential advantages of estimating daily perceived stress independent of event checklists are discussed.
