Based on the results of the analysis carried out on the 2 aspects measured in the scale adaptation, the ades meet the results of the scale adaptation test, namely the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) test, the internal reliability test, and the construct validity test so that the ades scale can be used to measure distress and eustress in adolescents.
