A study evaluated the Taiwanese Daily Stress Inventory (TDSI), a Traditional Chinese version of the Daily Stress Inventory, to assess daily stressors among Traditional Chinese-speaking young adults. Researchers gathered data from 470 participants, mostly female, with an average age of 19.82 years. The TDSI showed strong internal consistency, with Cronbach’s α and McDonald’s ω values above 0.80. Significant negative correlations were found between TDSI scores and self-reported physical and mental health, indicating that higher daily stress is linked to worse health outcomes. While meditation practices were explored, the small number of regular practitioners limited the analysis. The study confirms the TDSI as a reliable and valid tool for measuring daily stress in this demographic, offering an important resource for cross-cultural psychological assessment.
