Investigating Teachers’ Happiness in the Contexts of Spiritual Well-Being and Stress

This is the data set of the study which aims to reveal whether or not teachers’ well-being is affected by anomie, transcendence, and harmony with nature, which are the dimensions of spirituality, and stress. The obtained data is considered to provide psychological counselors with information on using spirituality in the counseling environment and the relationships of stress and well-being. When examining the literature, studies are found to have investigated the relationship of stress with well-being and of well-being with spirituality; however, no research has been encountered on the relationship among the three variables using the path model. A total of 378 teachers working in various cities in Turkey participated in the research. The PERMA, Spiritual Well-Being, and Perceived Stress Scales have been used in collecting data. The structural equation model and correlational analysis have been used in the data analysis. According to the results, well-being predicts anomie negatively and transcendence positively. Anomie is the negative descriptor of transcendence and harmony with nature. Stress positively explains anomie.

本数据集源自一项旨在探究教师幸福感是否受精神性（spirituality）维度下的失范（anomie）、超越性（transcendence）、人与自然和谐以及压力因素影响的研究。本研究所得数据可为心理咨询师提供在咨询场景中应用精神性的相关参考，以及压力与幸福感间关系的相关信息。经文献梳理发现，已有研究探讨了压力与幸福感、幸福感与精神性之间的关联，但尚未有研究采用路径模型（path model）对这三类变量间的关系展开探究。本研究共招募土耳其多座城市的378名教师作为研究对象。数据收集环节采用了PERMA量表、精神幸福感量表（Spiritual Well-Being）与感知压力量表（Perceived Stress Scale）。数据分析环节采用了结构方程模型（Structural Equation Model）与相关分析方法。研究结果显示，幸福感对失范具有负向预测作用，对超越性具有正向预测作用；失范是超越性与人与自然和谐的负向表征。压力对失范具有正向解释力。
