title: Magnitude of stress reported by basketball referees.
abstract: 723 basketball referees responded to a survey that assessed stress related to officiating. Mean reported ratings were between "very little" and "moderate amount"; only 4% reported high stress. Results are consistent with other accounts, suggesting that most sport officials experience low occupational stress.
