siobhanob@telkom.sa.net / This report describes an investigation into the levels and symptoms of stress in a sample
of security guards on the University of the Witwatersrand Campus. Stress is an integral
facet of life that has deep reaching implications for an individual’s functioning in the
world. Although the presence of stress can assist an individual in performing, stress can
unbalance a person’s equilibrium and lead to physical, psychological and behavioural
symptoms that burden them. Data from 11 security guards on the University of
Witwatersrand campus was collected by means of a semi-structured interview and an
orally administered, structured checklist (the SSCL). Results from both data sets are
provided and discussed. The data collected from each method was compared to
determine which is more appropriate for tapping into the construct of stress in this
population.
