dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to explore and describe the psychological symtomatology, sense of coherence and the relationship between these two factors, of teachers from under-resourced schools in Cape Town. The sample consisted of 58 male and female teachers. Data was collected by means of three measures including a Biographical Questionnaire, Symptomatology Check List Revised (SCL-90-R) and the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-29) also known as the Orientation to Life Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and the Spearman Rank Order Correlation was utilised to meet the aims of the study. Of the nine sub-dimensions of psychological symptomatology measured on the SCL-90-R, results revealed that the teachers scored high in the three dimensions of obsessive compulsive, paranoid ideation and depression.en_ZA
