Trier inventory on chronic stress

The Trier inventory on chronic stress ( TICS ) is a psychological self-assessment procedure for recording various areas of chronic stressors . The psychological questionnaire was developed in 2004 by Schulz, Schlotz and Becker. The frequency of various stress experiences in the last three months is asked on a five-point rating scale. The processing time is estimated at 10 to 15 minutes and the evaluation time at 5 to 10 minutes, with a computerized version being available. The questionnaire relates to an interaction- related stress concept . The questionnaire comprises 57 questions, which are summarized in the following 9 scales:

Work overload
Social overload
Pressure to succeed
Dissatisfaction with work
Overwork at work
Lack of social recognition
Social tensions
Social isolation
Chronic concern.

The values of the test subjects can be compared with a norm sample consisting of 604 people between the ages of 16 and 70 years. On the basis of the 57 questions in this questionnaire, a shorter scale called the Chronic Stress Screening Scale (SSCS) was developed, which only consists of 12 questions.
