How often should I take the PSS-4?

Weekly works well as a baseline. The instrument asks about the past month, so weekly check-ins capture a rolling window with substantial overlap — useful for trend, less useful for single-point precision.

Does retaking the PSS-4 affect the score?

Not in any meaningful way. The items are face-valid self-reports — there is no right-answer memorisation effect.
