Trier Social Stress Test (TSST): A Laboratory Stress Protocol
Source: Trier UniversityDate Published: 1993Format: TextAnnotation: The Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) is a laboratory procedure used to reliably induce stress in human research participants. It is a combination of procedures that were previously known to induce stress, but previous procedures did not do so reliably. It has become a standard protocol for the experimental induction of moderate psychological stress in psychobiological research. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Trait Hope Scale
Source: RP GroupDate Published: 1991Format: PDFAnnotation: The Trait Hope Scale is a 12-item measure of a respondent's level of hope. The scale is divided into two subscales that comprise Snyder's cognitive model of hope: Agency (i.e., goal-directed energy), and Pathways (i.e., planning to accomplish goals). Of the 12 items, four make up the Agency subscale, and four make up the Pathways subscale. The remaining four items are fillers. Each item is answered using an eight-point Likert-type scale ranging from Definitely False to Definitely True.

Youth Self Report (YSR)
Source: Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA)Date Published: 1991Format: TextAnnotation: The Youth Self Report (YSR) protocol, a self-administered survey, was first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach and was derived from another widely-used standardized measure in child psychology, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The YSR was designed to assess the emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents in a standardized format. It assessed internalizing (i.e., anxiety, depression, and over-control) and externalizing (i.e., aggressive, hyperactivity, noncompliant, and under-controlling) behaviors. Different subscale symptoms were also measured, depending on one of three waves.
