Burnout as a Function of Eysenck's Neuroticism Factor in Teachers Working with Children with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders
by Prince, Shannon J., M.S., ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, 2011, 51 pages; 1501453

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to observe the level of neuroticism in special education teachers working with children with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders (EBD) and how it is related to the level of burnout (i.e., chronic state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion; Center & Steventon, 2001) they experience. Two surveys, Friedman’s Questionnaire on Teacher Burnout and Eysenck’s Personality Questionnaire Brief Version, were delivered to special education teachers working with EBD students in self-contained classrooms in Western New York. The data were analyzed by correlating the teachers’ level of neuroticism with their level of burnout. Results indicated a significant correlation between neuroticism and burnout.
