Psychology and Psychology teachers are are requested to more actively take part in the assessment and teacher education. One of the basic research-questions concerns the qualification, capability and resilience of future teachers. To investigate under these aspects, health behavior and work-related patterns are consulted and Work-Life-Balance and stress-coping are discussed. In the paper at hand, three studies with heterogeneous methods, qualitatively and quantitatively, are presented that compare prospective teachers and teachers with regard to health- and work-related patterns of behaviour. The Fragebogen zur Erfassung des allgemeinen Wohlbefindes [Questionnaire for the assessment of general well-being] (FEW) by Bongartz (2000) and the Landauer Fragebogen zum Arbeitsstil [Landau questionnaire for work-style] (LFA; version for companies and universities) (Braun, 2000) have been used. The frame conditions of Work-Life-Balance are analysed. The results show that prospective teachers are more burdened than teachers and other working graduates. Furthermore, prospective teachers show lower work-satisfaction. Referring to the qualitative results, the tendency becomes obvious that prospective teachers strive for a secureness-orientation.
