Different task conditions elicited unique patterns of stress state on the three factors of the SSSQ in line with predictions. The second study aimed at providing validity information on the SSSQ in regards to its sensitivity to task-stressors. These factor analyses differentiated three aspects of subjective stress similar to the DSSQ: Task Engagement, Distress, and Worry. The first study involved the construction and exploration of the factor structure of the SSSQ using data pooled from three samples. This article presents two studies providing initial psychometric and validation evidence of a short multidimensional self-report measure of stress state, the Short Stress State Questionnaire (SSSQ) based on the Dundee Stress State Questionnaire (DSSQ Matthews et al., 1999, 2002). Stress is an important aspect of operational settings. The dynamic interdependence of states and performance is discussed in relation to the transactional model of stress and emotion. Structural equation modelling suggested a stable influence of states on performance across days.

State dimensions including lower distress and higher task engagement correlated with working memory. However, state-change patterns themselves changed across days of testing, suggesting progressive adaptation to the task environment. Performance elicited state changes including increased task engagement and distress. Findings suggested reciprocal influences of state and working memory. Subjective state was measured with the Dundee Stress State Questionnaire (Matthews et al., 2002), before and after performance on each occasion.

Participants ( n=112) performed a task requiring concurrent mental arithmetic and ordered recall of single words under increasing levels of time pressure. This study examined relationships between working memory and subjective states on four successive occasions.
