Abstract: Introduction. Researching stress becomes more and more relevant due to a sharp increase in the stress level among population. There is enough evidence that this phenomenon is caused by the increasing uncertainty of existence in the 21st century, due to the rapid and non-predictable changes in various spheres of human and social life. Yet, in domestic psychology one can observe a lack of works focusing on the stress of uncertainty, as well as the absence of valid and reliable methods for its measurement. The presented study had its purpose to create a new questionnaire for assessing the degree of perceived uncertainty stress, to provide its validation and psychometric evaluation. The total study sample consisted of 1411 people including 1130 college students (mean age 17.64; 43.5% - girls) and 281 university students (mean age 19.14; 76.3% - girls). Methods. Validation methods: V. Morosanova's "Self-Regulation Profile Questionnaire - SRPQM" (Morosanova, Kondratyuk, 2020); "Scale of Perceived Stress (SPS-10)" (Zolotareva, 2023). Results. The authors presented results of testing and validation of the questionnaire "Subjective and Objective Uncertainty Stress - SOUS" on the Russian sample. The technique is proved to be a reliable and valid tool for measuring the uncertainty stress in adolescents. The questionnaire includes two scales to assess the stress severity in situations of subjective and objective uncertainty as well as the integral scale indicating the general level of uncertainty stress. Discussion. The indicators of stress severity obtained on the scales of subjective and objective uncertainty are predictably positively associated with perceived distress and moderately negatively - with general level of conscious self-regulation, which shows the construct and convergent validity of the developed questionnaire. Conclusion. The proposed questionnaire can be used in psychological and pedagogical practice in order to assess the level of perceived uncertainty stress in adolescent students, as well as the degree of its severity in subjectively uncertain life situations and in relation to objective global stressors (situations) of uncertainty.
