Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Social Readjustment Rating Scale, also known as the Holmes and Rahe Scale, was developed in 1967 to measure the stress caused by major life changes over a year. Option A, primary appraisal, and Option B, secondary appraisal, refer to the cognitive evaluations of stressors rather than the measurement of stress itself. Option D, College Undergraduate Stress Scale, is a specific tool to measure stress among college students and is unrelated to the Holmes and Rahe Scale.
