The Teacher Stress Inventory (TSI) is an instrument for measuring occupational stress in teachers. This study aimed to translate and adapt it for use in Greece, and then assess its reliability and validity.
The Greek versions of the TSI and the 14-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) were posted on all Greek educators' official sites during May 2012. A nationwide sample of 3,447 teachers of all levels and specialties completed the questionnaires via the Internet. Reliability was determined by the calculation of Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted and validity was further examined by investigating the correlation of the TSI with the PSS-14 and their association with demographics and work-related factors.
Satisfactory Cronbach's alpha values (above 0.70) were found for all TSI dimensions. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the two-factor construct of TSI (root mean square error of approximation, comparative fit index, and goodness-of-fit index values were 0.079, 0.956, and 0.951, respectively), confirming the pre-established theory for the two latent variables, Stress Sources and Stress Manifestations. Significant correlations were found between TSI subscales, PSS-14 sex, age, lack of support, and students' difficulties.
The Greek version of the TSI was found to have satisfactory psychometric properties, and its use for assessing stress in Greek teachers is warranted.
教师压力量表(TSI)是一种用于测量教师职业压力的工具。本研究旨在将其翻译并适用于希腊,并评估其信度和效度。
2012 年 5 月,TSI 和 14 项感知压力量表(PSS-14)的希腊语版本被发布在所有希腊教育工作者的官方网站上。通过互联网,对来自各个层次和专业的 3447 名教师进行了全国性的抽样调查,完成了问卷调查。通过计算 Cronbach 的 alpha 系数来确定信度。进行验证性因子分析,并通过研究 TSI 与 PSS-14 的相关性及其与人口统计学和与工作相关的因素的关联,进一步检验有效性。
所有 TSI 维度的 Cronbach 的 alpha 值(均高于 0.70)均令人满意。验证性因子分析证实了 TSI 的两因素结构(近似均方根误差、比较拟合指数和拟合优度指数值分别为 0.079、0.956 和 0.951),证实了两个潜在变量(压力源和压力表现)的预先设定理论。TSI 子量表、PSS-14 性别、年龄、缺乏支持和学生困难之间存在显著相关性。
希腊语版 TSI 具有令人满意的心理测量学特性,其在评估希腊教师压力方面的应用是合理的。
