Journal Article 2024 01 03 Work-related behavior patterns toward stressor experiences reflect the staff's attitude toward their professional requirements. The work-related behavior experience patterns questionnaire (AVEM) has been developed to determine the work-related patterns of people in the face of job stress. The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the AVEM in pre-service early childhood teachers- student teachers who are enrolled in a teacher education program and working toward teacher certification (n=429, 59.67% female). The confirmatory factor analysis results showed an 11-factor structure resembling the original factor structure in the Persian language. Additionally, results showed that the Persian version of the AVEM demonstrated high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Overall, the findings support the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the AVEM, which can be used to assess work-related behavior and experience patterns. The AVEM can be used during pre-service teachers' education to evaluate the extent to which they report work behaviors associated with occupational stress and dissatisfaction. Pre-service early childhood teachers who tend to feel overwhelmed and helpless in stressful work situations should be identified early so that they can be offered support.<br />  Work-related behavior patterns toward stressor experiences reflect the staff's attitude toward their professional requirements.
