Teachers often experience high work pressure, burnout, and challenging situations at work. They are more likely to respond to these stressors with a positive attitude if they attach importance to self-transcendence. This study developed a self-transcendence scale for primary and secondary school teachers; such a scale has never before been developed in Taiwan. Content related validity testing (including trial work and an expert review) was completed, and a first draft of the scale was proposed. It drew heavily from the three self-transcendence approaches of creative value, experiential value, and attitudinal value proposed by V. E. Frankl in his theory of logotherapy. Subsequently, exploratory factor analysis was performed by surveying 150 participants, confirmatory factor analysis was performed by surveying 301 participants, cross-validation of confirmatory factor analysis was performed by surveying 200 participants, and group differences were analyzed by surveying 700 participants. Finally, 12 items—4 questions for each of the 3 values—were obtained. The test results indicated that the scale has good credibility and validity. |
