本文介绍了日本版的压力感知量表（PSS）的发展，并检查之间的等价性和翻译版本。PSS是为数不多的测量全球压力感知水平的工具之一，已广泛用于一系列临床和研究环境。PSS已被翻译成多种语言，但没有经过验证的日语版本。实施了向前-向后程序。产生了多个向前和向后的翻译，一个评审小组验证了源版本和最终版本之间的概念和语义等效性。为了提高语言在目标人口中的代表性，使用了非双语家庭长大的非专业翻译。PSS被管理到222名母语为英语的人和日语版本（PSS-J）的1320名母语为日语的人。因子分析显示，相似的因素负荷的项目和满意的因子之间的协议PSS和PSS-J。克朗巴赫的α系数是高的两个版本，每个因素。得出的结论是，PSS和PSS-J是实质上等同的，适合用于比较跨文化研究。
This paper describes the development of a Japanese version of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and examines the equivalence between the original and translated version. The PSS is one of the few instruments to measure a global level of perceived stress, and has been widely used in a range of clinical and research settings. The PSS has already been translated into several languages, but there is no validated Japanese version. A forward-backward procedure was implemented. Multiple forward and backward translations were produced, and a panel of reviewers verified conceptual and semantic equivalence between the source and final versions. Non-professional translators who were not brought up in bilingual families were used in order to enhance representativeness of language in the target populations. The PSS was administered to 222 native English speakers and the Japanese version (PSS-J) to 1320 native Japanese speakers. Factor analysis showed similar factor loadings of the items and satisfactory factorial agreement between the PSS and PSS-J. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was high for both versions and for each factor. It is concluded that the PSS and PSS-J are substantially equivalent and suited for use in comparative cross-cultural studies.
