The SMQ is comprised of 11 scales in three (3) separate stress categories
Yes. In 1982, Dr. Petersen received a grant from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to conduct a research study of the SMQ. Dr. Petersen and his research team proceeded to conduct a comprehensive validation study of the SMQ using standard psychometric test development methodology. The SMQ was administered to a stratified random sample of employees from seven different companies. Upon completion of the study, the data were statistical analyzed to determine the validity of the scales using Factor Analysis, Discriminant Analysis, and other standard statistical procedures. The study demonstrated the validity and reliability of the SMQ.
The SMQ is the first stress assessment tool that has been Certified by the American Institute of Stress (A.I.S.) for use by professional trainers, coaches, psychologists and counselors. The SMQ is highly versitle and can be integrated into virtually any stress management training or coaching program. After careful review of the research behind the SMQ, AIS granted its Stress Product Certification to the SMQ in 2019.
How is the SMQ Completed?
While a print version of the SMQ is available, most SMQ assessments are taken online via the Internet. You will be provided with an Internet Link and a unique Access Code. Once the code is entered, the assessment begins. After answering the 87 SMQ questions, along with a few demographic items, the results are calculated and a one-page Stress Risk Profile is provided showing your "risk" level on each of the 11 SMQ scales.
What Does the SMQ Reveal?
While the stress response is universal, how stress reveals itself varies from person to person. In addition, people adapt to increasing levels of stress and "tune-out" the warning signs that stress may be a problem. Using 87 psychometrically created questions, the SMQ provides a way to view personal stress in three (3) key areas with 11 unique areas or scales:
STRESS WARNING SIGNS: Hostility/Anger, Time Urgency, Perfectionism, Disappointment, Burnout, Under-Achievement, Tension
STRESS EFFECTS: Physical Stress Effects, Life/Work Satisfaction
STRESSORS; Life Events, Hassles
