The study aimed at the development and validation of an indigenous Daily Stressor Scale (DSS) for university teachers of Pakistan. The purpose was development of teacher for the promotion of peace: Exploratory study. Data was collected from February to April 2010 from university teachers of Pakistan. Items for factor analysis were derived from literature review, focus groups discussions and unstructured interviews conducted with university teachers. The sample consisted of 264 university teachers from four provinces of Pakistan, federal area and AJ&K. Exploratory factor analysis was performed on 30 items. Factor analysis yielded four factors (environmental stressors, workplace stressors, family and personal stressors and professional stressors) that made four subscales of DSS. Daily Stressor Scale accounted for 43 % of variance. Norms were developed for full scale and four subscales of DSS. Separate norms for males and females were also derived. The psychometric properties of Daily Stressor Scale were established against other measures. Implications for counselors, administration and policy makers were discussed.
