FIGURE 12.2The Hassles and Uplifts ScaleOn their scale of daily hassles and uplifts, Delongis, Folkman, and Lazarus (1988) asked participants to consider how much of a hassle and how much of an uplift each item on the scale was the day of the test. Participants were instructed to circle a number rating the degree to which each item was a hassle (left column) and an uplift (right column). Numbers range from 0 (“none or not applicable”) to 3 (“a great deal”). The scale includes 53 items, a sample of which are shown here.
