Analysis

The Urban Hassles Scale was created by Gary W. Evans and his colleagues. It was developed to assess the daily problems and stressors faced by people living in urban areas.

Purpose

The purpose of the Urban Hassles Scale is to measure the everyday difficulties and challenges encountered by city dwellers. These problems may include traffic congestion, noise, pollution, crime, and other factors that can impact individuals’ mental and physical health.

Statistical Analysis

Statistical analysis of the data includes descriptive statistics, correlational analysis, and multivariate analysis to understand the relationships between urban hassles and other psychological or social factors.
