Tolerance of stress factors in teachers
(RESUME)

The results of theoretical and empirical study of tolerance to stress in teachers on different professional levels are presented. Personality mechanisms in highly qualified teachers are of constructive nature and promote professional development and selfrealization (true adaptation). Low qualification level teachers employ situative means for stress overcoming (authority delegation, keeping off difficult situations, etc. ), which hinder their professional and personal development (pseudo-adaptation). There is a correlation between the tolerance of stress and professional motivation structure and locus of control in teachers on different professional levels.
