Positive and negative affects of teachers from different educational levels

In this study we aim at comparing positive and negative affects of teachers from different educational levels. 101 teachers participated in this study, being 83.2% (n=84) female with an average age of 39.3 years (SD=9.8). The instrument used was the Escala de Afetos Zanon - EAZ. Teachers were co-opted in the workplace, and the applications occurred both individually and collectively. In order to carry out the analysis, we used ANOVA method, by analyzing profiles of repeated measurements. Among the most relevant results, it was observed that positive affects were more present in the sample in question. We also found that educators from Kindergarten had less positive affect than others, a factor that may have been influenced by singularities perceived by the participants, for example relating to remuneration, working hours and career plan. No differences were found regarding gender and age group. We argue that further studies on this issue are necessary.

本研究旨在对比不同教育层级教师的积极与消极情感体验。本次研究共纳入101名教师作为被试，其中女性占比83.2%（n=84），平均年龄为39.3岁，标准差（SD）为9.8。本研究采用的测评工具为赞恩情感量表（Escala de Afetos Zanon，EAZ）。研究对象通过工作场所渠道招募，数据采集同时采用个体施测与集体施测两种方式。数据分析环节采用方差分析（Analysis of Variance，ANOVA）法，通过重复测量轮廓分析开展统计检验。核心结果显示，本次研究样本中积极情感的出现频率显著更高。此外，本研究发现幼儿园教师的积极情感体验显著低于其他教育层级的教师，该现象或受被试感知到的相关特殊因素影响，例如薪酬待遇、工作时长与职业发展规划等。未发现性别与年龄组别间存在显著差异。综上，本研究认为针对该议题开展后续研究具有必要性。
