Preliminary Reliability and Descriptive Statistics for the Founder Stress Profile (FSP-40): An 18-Respondent Pilot Study

This project contains the pilot study paper for the Founder Stress Profile (FSP-40), reporting preliminary internal consistency and descriptive statistics from 18 respondents collected between July and December 2025. Cronbach's alpha exceeded 0.80 for all six subscales (range 0.823 to 0.901). Sample-level subscale scores reflect a predominantly moderate activation profile. Overdrive Syndrome was detected in 27.8 percent of the sample. The instrument paper is published separately: Parasrampuria, A. (2025a). OSF Preprint. https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/FCVN2.
