Teacher Stress Inventory





Educators, School Administrators, Mental Health workers, and parents ought to be aware of teacher stress because of the critical role teachers play all societies. High levels of stress may lead to burnout.


There are several measures of teacher stress, which can help you assess and monitor stress levels. One popular measure is the Teacher Stress Inventory (TSI) revised by Schutz and Long in 1988. 

The scale uses a 5-point Likert-type scale to rate stressful situations in seven categories (an item example in parentheses):

Role ambiguity (I am unclear on what the scope and responsibilities of my job are)

Role stress (I find that I have extra work beyond what should be normally expected of me)

Organizational management (My administrative head does not ask my opinion on decisions that directly affect me)

Job satisfaction (All in all, I would say that am I am not satisfied with my job)

Life satisfaction (My life is currently quite lonely)

Task stress (I find that dealing with student discipline problems puts a lot of stress on me)

Supervisory support (My administrative head does not pay attention to what I say)

Reliability values range widely depending on the study. Many are in acceptable ranges. Check out the articles online relevant to your proposed sample (e.g., U.S. Elementary School Teachers). The TSI has been used in various countries and there are different translations available.


You can find many articles on the TSI online, including the full text of the original and revised (shorter) versions. The shorter, 36-item version is more recent.

Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (PSQ)

  The Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire  ( PSQ )   Overview The Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (PSQ) measures self-concept based on ratings of 18 items, which are grouped into four categories: Self-fulfilment, autonomy, honesty, and emotional self-concept. Subscales : The PSQ has four subscales 1. Self-fulfilment (6 items) 2. Autonomy (4 items) 3. Honesty (3 items) 4. Emotional self-concept (5 items)  ðŸ‘‰ [ Read more about Self-Concept and Self-Identity] The PSQ is a Likert-type scale with five response options ranging from totally disagree to totally agree. Reliability and Validity In the first study, coefficient alpha = .85 and in study two, alpha = .83. Data analysis supported a four-dimensional model (see the four categories above). Positive correlations with other self-concept measures were statistically significant. Other notes The authors estimated it took about 10 minutes to complete the PSQ. Their first study included people ages 12 to 36 ( n = 506). In the second s
