520 3 |a After reflecting on attributional research and achievement motivation theory, this study proposed a model of teacher stress. Included in this model were situational variables and various attributional variables which functioned as predictor variables on two sets of dependent variables-- attributional consequences and behavioral consequences. The purpose of this study was to examine the unique variance contributed by the attributional variables. Sixty-four first through fourth grade teachers participated in this study. The teachers voluntarily completed an author constructed questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into four major components corresponding with the major components of the proposed model: Descriptive Information, - Situational Variables, Perceptions of Teaching, Affects and Expectations. A series of regression analyses were conducted on the two sets of stress related dependent variables. In general, results of regression analysis indicate that the inclusion of attributional variables did account for variance in stress related variables. This finding supports the hypothesis that teachers' perceptions of the quality of their work setting and performance were an important determinant of their occupational stress level. Recommendations for future areas of study are suggested. A major area is to study stress from three perspectives: physiological, cognitive and behavioral observation.
