Subjected gifted student data (N=311) to factor analyses for Student Stress Inventory and Maslach Burnout Inventory to assess factorial validity; five stress and three burnout factors were evident. Found significant relationships between stress, burnout, tedium, and, to a degree, quality of school life variables. (Author/NB)

The degree of correlation between each of six personal and life history variables to each of three subscales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory was investigated for classroom teachers. The personal and life history variables afforded low, but statistically significant, relationships with one or more of the three constructs of burnout. (DWH)
