AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to adapt the Perceived Stress Scale of Sheldon Cohen and Williamson Gail M (1988), for its use
with Bangla speaking people, specially in Bangladesh. For this purpose the original version of the stress scale was translated into Bangla. Then, to examine its validity, confirmatory factor analysis was carried out on its items and its reliability was calculated. Reliability of the Bangla version of the scale was tested by applying parallel form and test-retest methods. The reliability coefficient in both techniques were found to be 0.85 & 0.83. The obtained high parallel form and test-retest reliability coefficients proved that Bangla version of the perceived stress scale was definitely a dependable tool for identifying stress of the individuals of Bangla language and culture.
