Abstract

Prospective social studies teachers experience future anxiety and career stress in Turkey just as in different countries around the world. The aim of the study was to examine this issue. The mediating role of career stress and the moderating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between the future anxiety and psychological well-being of prospective social studies teachers were examined.
