Let's try a risk assessment .
A group of students wants to study how college undergraduates cope with stress. They plan to survey their peers about circumstances that cause stress and the strategies used to reduce stress. They want to administer a questionnaire that asks undergraduates to identify on a list of 51 events those that occurred in the past year and to rate the stressfulness (1 - not at all stressful; 7 - extremely stressful) of each event experienced. Events ranged from very low stress (e.g., falling asleep in class) to very high stress (e.g., being raped, death of a close friend). Following this scale, they want to ask the research participants to complete a questionnaire about different coping strategies for reducing stress.
