Description
Summary:Positive emotions: a psychological tool that contributes to the resilience process in education professionals. The phenomenon of resilience takes on special importance in the educational process, because school is a fundamental key environment for acquiring the necessary skills to get ahead thanks to the ability of people to overcome the difficulties of life. Through empirical study, the level of resilience expressed by participating teachers in relation to sociodemographic and socio-labor variables is assessed. The invited sample is the the high school teachers of the 24 Institutes of the province of Huesca (N=1.268) belonging to the public teaching network in the 2014/15 academic year. Through voluntary participation, the final sample is formed with n=167 teachers (13.17%). Resilience is evaluated through the Resilience Evaluation Questionnaire of Serrano- Martínez (2010). The results confirm that positive emotions mitigate vulnerability to job stressors favoring the emergence of resilience. Likewise, the evidence of resilience of the surveyed group increases with the vital conditions that provide affective-emotional and labor stability.
