It draws on narrative interviews undertaken with twelve mathematics and science teachers in six schools and focuses on three of these teachers to explore issues in more depth. The findings demonstrate that the use by teachers of appropriate coping mechanisms, e.g. actively seeking out preferable alternatives, and access to professional and personal support, with the right frame of mind, namely, seeing stressors as capable of being overcome, can produce desirable consequences for the teachers through their use of stress in a positive, healthy manner and lessen the likelihood of negative long-term effects associated with distress. date: 2013-09-16 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1080/03054985.2013.840279 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual doi: 10.1080/03054985.2013.840279 full_text_status: public publication: Oxford Review of Education volume: 39 number: 5 pagerange: 627-648 refereed: TRUE issn: 0305-4985 citation: Mujtaba, Tamjid; Reiss, Michael; (2013) Factors that lead to positive or negative stress in secondary school teachers of mathematics and science.
