Abstract

Stress is known as one of the most important factors affecting teachers' performance thus knowing the source of the stress is important in terms of coping with stress and increasing teacher resilience. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the resilience and student-related social stress levels of teachers working at the preschool primary, secondary, and high school levels in terms of different variables. Conducted on the basis of the correlational survey method this study consisted of 454 teachers randomly selected among the teachers of various subjects working in Diyarbakır. In this study “Resilience Scale for Adults” and “Teacher Social Stress Scale-Student Related” were used as data collection instruments. The findings showed that teachers' student-related social stress score is 3.33 while teachers' resilience score is 3.79. A negative significant relationship was observed between teachers' student-related social stress and psychological resilience. Teachers' psychological resilience significantly differs in terms of gender variable while teachers' student-related social stress significantly differs in terms of the school location. This study provides important data about the relationships between resilience and student-related social stress, thus the results are considered to contribute not only to teachers but also to the preservice teachers.
