Abstract

Educational stress is a research topic that monopolizes a great number of studies. In the work that is presented here, the psychometric properties of the ED-6 scale are analyzed. This scale was elaborated ad hoc to measure the stress or educational discomfort for its use in a wider frame of research on this phenomenon. As one will be able to prove, the results show reliability and acceptable validity, being conformed by 77 items and 6 dimensions: Anxiety, Depression, Pressures, Beliefs, Lack of motivation and Bad confrontation. It is expected that its use in future research will be of great benefit.
