Abstract
In the last years, few measurement scales have been introduced to explore the concept of teachers' resilience. While these instruments have made valuable contributions to the field, they have been criticized for their failure to encompass several pivotal protective factors that literature has identified as central to teachers' resilience. In response to this weakness, the Teachers' Protective Factors of Resilience Scale (TPFRS, Daniilidou & Platsidou, 2022) was created which addresses these limitations by including an assessment of both personal and environmental protective factors that influence teachers' resilience. In this context, the present study was undertaken with the aim of testing the factorial structure, reliability and construct validity of the TPFRS, as well as the preferred protective factors of 964 primary and secondary school teachers who participated in the study. The results confirmed that the TPFRS is a robust and valid instrument for assessing the protective factors that underlie teachers' resilience, whereas the predominant protective factors were (1) Teachers’ values and beliefs and (2) Emotional and behavioral competence. In conclusion, the TPFRS can be confidently recommended for use in subsequent research studies and interventions in the teaching profession.
