Abstract
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the structural reliability of the Teacher Stress Inventory (Pettegrew and Wolf, 1982) with data from 1486 elementary and secondary school teachers. Revisions to the instrument were required, resulting in a shortened 36-item, 7-factor measure. Cross-validation with CFA, reliability analyses, and divergent groups validation indicated that this revised inventory has a theoretically verifiable factor structure, good internal reliability, and support for construct validity.Keywords
