Les stratégies d’ajustement émotionnel ont été mesurées par rappel stimulé . Six directions d’école ont été filmées durant une journée de travail avant d’être confrontées une semaine plus tard à leur vidéo montrant des situations stressantes. Les résultats montrent que les directions vivent de la colère devant les critiques du personnel et de l’anxiété devant l’anticipation de situations qui risquent de dégénérer. L’inhibition émotionnelle est la stratégie la plus fréquemment utilisée. Cette recherche montre l’importance de considérer les compétences émotionnelles dans l’étude du stress des directions scolaires.  \nMots-clés : stress, stratégie d’ajustement cognitif, stratégie d’ajustement émotionnel, inhibition émotionnelle, directions d’école  \nCanadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l’éducation 37:3 (2014) [www.cje-rce.ca](www.cje-rce.ca)  \nIntroduction  \nA school principal’s professional world is characterized by many challenges and comes with a multitude of potential sources of stress. By comparing the wages, the responsibilities, and the workload, some authors consider that being a school principal is “the toughest job in America”(Carr, 2003, p. 15) .  \nSince the 1960s, a considerable amount of research has been conducted on the subject. Gmelch (1988) points out that between 1966 and 1988 more than 1,300 articles on the stress of school principals were published. However, despite several more recent studies that continue to confirm the high levels of stress of school principals (Cubitt & Burt, 2002; Poirel, 2010; Welmers, 2006), more research needs to be done in order to better understand the phenomenon. Not only should the sources be identified but also abetter comprehension of the coping processes needs to be addressed (Dewe & Trenberth, 2004), particularly, the distinction brought about between emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping (Lazarus, 1966), which has been considered as the foundation in coping theory in many studies on school principals.  \nCoping Research on School Principals  \nMany authors have investigated how principals cope with stress. In her classic study, Roesch (1979) has developed a questionnaire to assess the best coping strategies of school principals. Her findings, showing that the main coping strategy for principals dealing with stress is to spend more hours at work, have been replicated in other studies (Abdul Muthalib, 2003; Gmelch & Torelli, 1994; Shumate, 2000) . Shumate (2000) used Roesch’s coping preference scale on a sample of 221 high school principals and found that planning for the future, discussing with colleagues, exercising, and delegating tasks are also part of the best strategies evoked by principals. Abdul Muthalib (2003) also used Roesch’s questionnaire on a sample of 50 principals and fou","cbCaidLAIflCiEfZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidLAIflCiEfZ","pdf",297574,23,"English","# Introduction\n# Coping Research on School Principals\n## Major findings from coping studies\n## Categories of coping strategies\n## Life habits, relaxation, and real-time coping","[{\"question\":\"How was emotional coping measured in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Emotional coping was measured by stimulated recall: six principals were filmed during a working day and revisited the video a week later to confront stressful encounters shown in their footage.\"},{\"question\":\"What emotional responses did school principals report most often?\",\"answer\":\"Results indicate anger when faced with reproaches from staff members, and anxiety when anticipating situations likely to worsen.\"},{\"question\":\"Which coping strategy was used most frequently?\",\"answer\":\"Emotional inhibition was identified as the most frequently used coping strategy among the principals in the study.\"}]","School Principals’ Emotional Coping Process - Abstract & Research Findings | PDF",1792083352,58,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":99},[100,104,108,112,117,122,127,130,135,138,142],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":85,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":128,"slug":129},30,"research-report",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":134},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":137},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":139,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":140,"show_sort_weight":139,"slug":141},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":143,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":144,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":145},19,"General","general"]
