Sources of Stress for Teachers.
Tishler, Ward; Ernest, Bill
This study sought to determine the primary sources of stress for 48 Alabama school teachers who attended a workshop on stress management. Survey questions were grouped into three categories: vulnerability for stress, job stressors, and current status. Tables present data on each of these categories as well as on the educational and personal characteristics of the teachers. Results of the survey revealed that for the group, there was a relatively low incidence of vulnerability for stress. However, a tendency for physical stressors such as a lack of vigorous exercise and inapprorpiate weight had a greater effect on vulnerability than did emotional stressors. Highest job stressors were associated with lack of time, disruptive students, small instructional funds, and relationship with supervisors. In most cases, stressors not directly related to the classroom received lower stress scores. (JD)
