- <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>With the increasing diversity of the German population, it is important to test the psychometric validity and reliability of the German version Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) specifically between German natives and residents with a migration background.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>Using nationally representative data (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 2527), this study conducted an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to determine the most appropriate factor structure, a Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA) to compare the validity of the two-factor structure and tested the PSS-10 measurement invariance between the German native and migrant sub-samples. Lastly, reliability of the PSS-10 was examined via Cronbach’s alpha, omega and individual item analyses across the two sub-samples.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>The EFA results support a two-factor structure in the migrant sample. The MGCFA showed adequate model fit for both sub-samples and the PSS-10 is strict invariant between German natives and migrants. Cronbach’s alpha and omega for <jats:italic>Perceived Helplessness</jats:italic> (PHS: factor 1) and <jats:italic>Perceived Self-Efficacy</jats:italic> (PSES: factor 2) demonstrate good internal consistency in both German and migrant sub-samples.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>The key conclusions are: (1) the German version PSS-10 is suitable for German residents with a migration background. (2) Despite good internal consistency for the total scale, the PSS-10 measures two aspects: (a) perceived helplessness and (b) perceived self-efficacy. Future research would profit from analyzing the two subscales separately, not only using the total score.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
