نبذة مختصرة : The purpose of this research was to examine the relationships between prospective teachers psychological resilience, teacher self-efficacy beliefs, and their attitudes towards the teaching profession. In this respect, a hypothetical model showing the causal relationships between the variables was developed and tested with path analysis within the structural equation modelling. Data were collected online from 247 prospective teachers who studied at pedagogical formation programs at a university in Turkey using Teachers Sense of Efficacy Scale, Brief Resilient Coping Scale, and Attitude Towards Teaching Profession Scale. The results revealed that there were positive and significant relationships between all of the research variables. The fit indices for the path analysis model showed that the model had a good fit with the data. Accordingly, the psychological resilience of prospective teachers directly affects their attitudes towards the teaching profession and self-efficacy beliefs. In addition, the psychological resilience of prospective teachers also indirectly and positively affects their attitudes towards the teaching profession through their self-efficacy beliefs. Based on the results, some recommendations were made.
