I am currently undergoing research. I want to find the academic stress of undergraduate students. Anyone with original version of Academic stress scale developed by Kohn and Frazer 1986? Most of the one found was adapted
It gets tricky with older scales because there weren't internet sites to post things to. James P. Kohn died in 1999. Gregory H. Frazer is now a Dean at the University of Southern Alabama (email = [email protected]; telephone 251-445-9254). He may well have a copy somewhere, though it's been a long time since that paper! (He was probably a graduate student at the time.)
If that doesn't work, try this: Find the paper on PsycINFO. Click where it says how many times the paper has been cited to get a list of other papers that cited it. Sort by date, with the most recent at the top. Look at the abstracts to find a paper that actually used the scale. The authors' affiliations and contact information are often right there with the abstract. Contact one of them.
Here is the reference of the original article in which it is, it also carries a very useful bibliographic references:
Kohn, J. P., and Frazer, G. H. (1986). An academic stress scale: Identification and rated importance of academic stressors.
Psychological Reports, 59, 415-426.
Another, but in Spanish: Cabanach, R G .; Valley, A; Rodríguez, S; Piñeiro, I and Freire, C: ACADEMIC STRESS COATING SCALE (A-CEA); Ibero-American Journal of Psychology and Health, vol. 1, no. 1, January, 2010, pp. 51-64
Here, in "RG": Exams-university-and-health-A-study-psychosocial ...

Finally, the Doctoral Thesis: EMOTIONAL REGULATION AND ACADEMIC STRESS IN STUDENTS (...), with a similar Scale: The "CORE" Scale and, on the other hand, the "ECEA", which is part of the Academic Stress Questionnaire developed by Cabanach et al. (2008).
