Twenty-four academic and 50 career-technical teachers in southwestern Ohio high school career centers were studied to determine which group perceived greater role stress, task stress, and environment stress while teaching and prior to issuance of their professional license. Teachers completed the 67-item Teacher Stress Measure (TSM) developed by L. Pettegrew and G. Wolfe (1981). Career-technical teachers reported higher levels of role and task stress than academic teachers. Academic teachers reported higher levels of environment stress. (Contains 2 tables.)
