title: Measurement characteristics of a short form of the questionnaire on resources and stress.
abstract: The psychometric integrity of a short form of a measure of ecological stress was evaluated based on data provided by both fathers and mothers representing intact families, half of which included children with handicaps and half of which did not. Alpha reliability, factor structure, and construct validity analyses generally supported the conclusion that the short form of the Questionnaire on Resources and Stress is reasonably reliable and valid.
