ABSTRACT:
The article examines the role of the school psychologist in relation to stress, positive emotions and psychological resilience in teachers. The study involved 101 teachers, 93 of whom were female and 8 were male, from all levels of education. The study was conducted using an online form that included questions related to their demographic data (e.g., gender, age, etc.), as well as the STAI questionnaire, the Positive Emotion Scale (mDES) and the CD Risc. Reliability analysis of the scales showed very good internal consistency of the items and excellent reliability. Coefficient Cronbach’s alpha is > 0.748. Cronbach Alpha values were checked on both subscales of the mDES – Negative emotions (NE) and Positive emotions (PE).

KEY WORDS: school psychologist, mental resilience, teachers, stress.
