Scoring of Cohen's 14-Item Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS)

Description

The function returns the stress score given the data.

Scaling: 0 = Never; 1 = Almost Never; 2 = Sometimes; 3 = Fairly often; 4 = Very often

PSS-14 scores are obtained by reversing the scores on the seven positive items, e.g., 0=4, 1=3, 2=2, etc., and then summing across all 14 items.

Items STRESS_1, STRESS_6, STRESS_7, STRESS_8, STRESS_10, STRESS_11, and STRESS_14 are the positively stated items.
