Life Stress and Coping Strength Inventory
Life Stress and Coping Strength Inventory
PART 3 OF THE CURRICULUM FOR THE
CHRISTIAN CHARACTER TRAINING PROGRAM
for PC computer by Darrell Franken, Ph.D.
The Life Stress and Coping Strength Inventory is a PC
computer software program. It evaluates 15 stress factors and
5 coping strengths.
BASIS OF CATEGORIES: The basis for the concepts of
this test come from the Handbook of Stress by Leo
Goldberger and Shlomo Breznitz (Macmillan, 1982) and
from Behavioral Health, edited by Matarazzo, Weiss, Herd,
Miller and Weiss (John Wiley Pub. , 1984). The contents of
these books have become the theoretical and practical
base for the Life Stress and Coping Strength Inventory.

The census bureau produced a stress test which was limited to
stress from cholesterol, alcohol, smoking, overweight and
inadequate exercise. They produced a computerized program
to calculate the projected longevity of persons who allowed these
stressors to produce illness. It soon became apparent that there
were many more stress factors than they used for calculating
mortality risk due to these few factors. This test has increased
the number to a more appropriate number.
DOCUMENTATION: The author of this test has published a book
for the purpose of documenting the validity of the stressor concepts
used in the Life Stress and Coping Strength Inventory. The title
of the book is Health Through Stress Reduction by Darrell Franken.
GRAPH AND INTERPRETATIONS: Each print-out has a graph
of categories and scores. This is followed by a print-out of
interpretations, informing persons about changes that need to
be made if scores are problematic.
UNLIMITED USE: The purchaser owns the software and has
unlimited use of it for himself or herself. There are no mail-in or
mail-back fees or delays.
