DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2024-1-149-158
The article presents the results of a study of the connection of mothers’ emotional burnout with their irrational attitudes in thinking, such as “catastrophization”, “ought towards others”, “ought towards oneself”, “intolerance of frustration”, “evaluative attitude”. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the problem of irrational attitudes is becoming more and more relevant due to the expansion and deepening every year of problems related to parental burnout, the inability of mothers to carry out their functions for the development and upbringing of children, to realize the availability of internal resources that can help in overcoming crisis situations; in the presence of attempts to scientifically comprehend the problem of irrational attitudes in psychology, there are currently a number of unexplored issues, in particular, the identification of irrational attitudes of mothers underlying their emotional burnout, which was the problem field of the study. The greatest number of links between the indicators of emotional burnout of mothers was established with the irrational attitudes “intolerance of frustration” and “evaluation attitude”, reflecting the degree of intolerance by mothers of various frustrating situations and the tendency to evaluate not individual traits or actions of people, but the personality as a whole. In the theoretical aspect, knowledge on the problems of emotional burnout of mothers, irrational attitudes have been enriched, an analysis of the approaches of domestic and foreign scientists to the definition of the categories “emotional burnout”, “irrational attitudes” has been carried out. In practical terms, the results of the study can be used in the activities of a psychologist to correct and prevent the syndrome of emotional burnout of mothers, which will minimize the consequences of distress that mothers experience in parenthood.
