Abstract | ||
The current research aims to identify the mental toughness and psychological entitlement levels, identify the correlation between these two variables, and to identify the differences in mental toughness and psychological entitlement according to gender (Male-Female) and according to specialization (Scientific-Humanitarian). To achieve the objectives of the study, a sample of (250) male and female teachers was selected from the University of Anbar, distributed among (4) colleges, with (202) male and (48) female teachers. The researchers adopted the mental toughness scale, including (39) items, and prepared the psychological entitlement scale, consisting of (26) items. Using the statistical means of analysis (SPSS), the study revealed that the level of mental toughness of the study sample is statistically high at the level (0.05). Besides, there are statistically significant differences in mental toughness according to the gender variable (Male, Female) and in favour of males, while the results indicated that there are no statistically significant differences according to the specialization variable (Scientific, Humanitarian). In addition, the level of psychological entitlement is statistically high at the level of (0.05). Moreover, there are no statistically significant differences in psychological entitlement according to the gender variable (Males-Females), while the results indicated that there is a statistically significant difference between the scientific and human specializations and in favour of the human specialization. Finally, there is a positive correlation between mental toughness and psychological entitlement among the study sample and there is a possibility of predicting psychological entitlement through mental toughness. In the light of these results, the researchers presented some recommendations and suggestions | ||
