Description

Stress reaction is caused by stressor but the form and intensity of the reaction caused by the same stressor are various individually influenced by one's character, circumstance and many other factors. These elements are concerned in the formation of one's mode of control recognition, coping, judgment, will etc. in regard to the stressor. The mode of control which has given tendency and individual difference is considered stress tolerance. It takes much time to suspect of stress tolerance, for it needs for specialist to ask in details a circumstance, a growing history or subjective symptom etc. and needs complicated psychological test. The Stress Tolerance Check List (STCL) was made with the aim of suspecting stress tolerance as facilitative and correct as possible in 1988. In this study, the reliability analysis of STCL was performed. The subjective people were 539 men and 250 women who took health check in human dry dock. The Cronbach alpha of STCL was 0.8016,and it can be considered to own a sufficient reliability. According to the factor analysis, it contained 5 factors in STCL, cheerfulness and positive thinking, Iiberality and consideration in social relations, self-unreliability, objectivity, and enough time. But the reliability of the 5 th factor, enough time, was not high. Shortened STCL of 13 items which is formed to own the highest Cronbach alpha, O . 8243,contained 3 factors, cheerfulness and positive thinking, Iiberality and consideration in social relations, objectivity. The coefficient of correlation between STCL and SDS was -0.5906 (p<0.001) . From these results, STCL is considered to be reliable and reasonable to suspect the stress tolerance to a certain extent, but to make more reliable and proper, the questions of STCL should be investigated and changed, especially so far as the questions related to the 5 th factor.
