This phenomenon has increased with the gap between technology and reality which led many to say that the psychological stress is the result of the scientific and technological progress, and that it became an element of our modern period. This situation increased the curiosity of researchers and specialists in education (in general) and in psychology (in particular), to determine the emergence of life stress, their reasons and the physical and psychological damages that result from them; and therefore to determine the methods that should be used by the individual to cope with them.
Teaching is considered one of the jobs that require the capacity of bearing since it is a humanistic job.
