Please note that in case one or more items are missing, **no** sum score is calculated. The missing item is not imputed because stressful life events are generally thought of as being random. Imputing the occurrence of a random event based on the occurrence of another random event is not theoretically sound. | Please note that in case one or more items are missing, **no** sum score is calculated.
