Abstract
Introduction
Presently, the majority of instruments assessing coping processes are not specific to teachers.
Objective
This study aims to explore psychometric properties of a coping scale specifically designed for teachers, as well as its associations with burnout.
Method
A sample of 237 teachers (63% primary/secondary vs. 37% post-compulsory) completed French versions of the Coping Scale by Dewe and Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure.
Results
Results of confirmatory factor analyses show the satisfactory psychometric properties of a shortened version of the coping scale, which is invariant across gender and levels of education. Multiple regression analysis suggests that the use of various coping processes may reduce the risk of burnout.
Conclusion
Results highlight the need to further explore the stressors associated with teaching and inclusive education, in order to define specific coping processes and thus substantially improve this scale.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
