Attachment Anxiety and Avoidance, Stress Appraisal of Conflictual Situations in Schools, and Burnout Among Teachers

The associations between attachment style, stress appraisal of conflictual situations in schools, and burnout were examined. 229 teachers completed an online survey. Teachers with higher anxious attachment appraise conflictual situations as more stressful and reported higher levels of burnout. Stress appraisal fully mediated the link between attachment and burnout.
