Healthy Lifestyle and Dealing with Problems Experienced by Teacher-trainees with Various Levels of Self-assessment

Abstract

The research was conducted among 197 teacher trainees, including 175 women and 22 men. Students’ ages ranged between 19 and 42, with the average of 24.93. The respondent were the students of pedagogy, English studies, German studies, pre-school and early-school pedagogy from two higher education institutions, namely: Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin and Higher School of Economy and Innovation in Lublin. The research was conducted with the help of the diagnostic questionnaire “My Lifestyle” (LSQ – Cavendish), COPE questionnaire (COPE – Carver, Scheier, Weintraub) and self-assessment scale (SES – Rosenberg). A particular structure of relationships between various variables (such as healthy lifestyle dependent variable, independent variable of dealing with problems, and moderating self-assessment) was shown. Those which are essential as emerging from empirical results were highlighted. Relationship characteristics can be considered as autonomous conclusions.
