Coping With Job-Related Stress: The Case Of Teachers, Irvin Sam Schonfeld Jan 1990

Coping With Job-Related Stress: The Case Of Teachers, Irvin Sam Schonfeld

Publications and Research

The CES-D and a psychophysiologic symptom scale were correlated as highly as their reliabilities would permit, indicating that they measure the same construct, nonspecific psychological distress. The level of job strain (frequency of ongoing stressors) was more closely related to psychological distress and low morale than episodic stressors, including crimes in which the teacher was …
