In the context of teachers experiencing stress we
assumed and discovered that the more teachers prefer proactive coping with load, the smaller is their level of
experienced stress ( this is valid also for individual areas of experienced stress – cognitive, emotional, physical and
social). We also assumed and discovered considerable negative correlation between self-efficacy of teachers and
experiencing stress (in all observed areas). Above mentioned fact shows the significant coherence of personal
characteristics and features (proactive approach and perceived self-efficacy) connected with effective stress coping in
all its levels – cognitive, emotional, physical and social.
