PERSONAL DETERMINANTS OF TEACHERS’ EMOTIONAL BURNOUT

SUMMARY:

The article presents the results of an empirical study of personal determinants of teachers’ emotional burnout. Emotional burnout is understood as a state of exhaustion that includes physical, emotional and psychological manifestations in response to work overload, stress, work-life imbalance, and ineffective leadership. The study proves that the personality traits that determine teachers’ emotional burnout are a tendency to unbalanced and tense reactions to difficult circumstances, which is exacerbated by unsociability, suspicion, anxiety, and poorly formed emotional management skills. Instead, the development of social and emotional skills, as well as professional self-realisation, contributes to the successful management of emotional burnout in teaching. The following arguments are presented as evidence: a) correlation of emotional burnout with emotional instability, introversion, depression, irritability, lack of empathy, inability to regulate own emotions, underestimation of own psychological resources and inefficient usage of them; b) the distinctive features of teachers with a high level of emotional burnout are low selfesteem, poor communication skills, normative behaviour, suspicion, anxiety, emotional immaturity, unfulfilled potential in the profession, etc. c) the main complexes of personal characteristics that aggravate emotional burnout are high emotional stress with poor emotional regulation, emotional and social disharmony, and insufficient professional and personal self-realisation.

KEYWORDS:

tension, resistance, exhaustion, emotional maturity, psychological resourcefulness.

EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND CONGRUENCY: PROBLEMS OF DETERMINATION

SUMMARY:

Relevance of the problem. The paper is devoted to an important problem of modern psychological science – emotional health as an indicator of psychological health and the peculiarities of its determination. The purpose of the article: to analyze the main approaches to the psychological determination of a person's emotional health. The author presents the results of the theoretical study of emotional health as the actual state of psychological balance between the individual and the environment in various life situations, as well as the stable tendency of the individual (resource) to experience emotional (subjective) well-being, to the feeling of stable constructive self-development and functioning. The psychological meaning of the concept of emotional health is discussed, which is revealed in the literature through the feeling of subjective, psychological well-being, through the experience of satisfaction with the quality of life, the feeling of happiness, which is realized through the subjective and objective success of the individual in the life course. Method: systematic analysis of determination processes. Classical provisions of the system analysis of deterministic processes are presented, which testify to the multiplicity and nonlinearity of the relationships of determinants, each of which in a certain way affects the structure, manifestations, and dynamics of emotional health. The impact of current, changing, transitory emotional states and a persistent tendency to experience emotions of a certain modality (emotionality as a personality property) on manifestations of emotional health is considered. It is shown that the usefulness of emotionality for the preservation of emotional and mental health depends not so much on the sign of the dominant emotions and their modality, but on their content, values, motivation, i.e., on personal orientation (the content-personal level of the continuous-hierarchical structure of the personality). The meaning of the concept of “congruency” is revealed as an important determinant of emotional health, as a personality property that ensures the degree of correspondence-inconsistency of the content of internal emotional experiences (awareness, understanding) to their external verbal or non-verbal manifestation; the degree of correspondence of the internal emotional and regulatory potential of the individual to the results of control over emotions and their regulation; the degree of correspondence of the individual’s subjective experience of psychological well-being (mental comfort) to the objective success of life activities, etc. The degree of usefulness of congruency for the therapeutic process depends not so much on forms and levels, but on its orientation and content. It was noted that individual manifestations of congruency are determined by a qualitativequantitative combination of its components. Results. A theoretical comparison of the content of emotional health and congruency-incongruency indicators was carried out, which allowed us to assume the possibility of a deterministic role of congruency in relation to the components of emotional health. This assumption requires an empirical study of the leading characteristics of emotional health (indicators of subjective well-being, vitality, etc.) in respect to congruency.

PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS OF PERSONALITY

SUMMARY:

The article analyses the problem of investigating psychological barriers of personality, which occupies a central place in addressing a range of issues related to personality formation and its professional and personal development. The results of analysing psychological barriers allow us to explain many phenomena of human mental life. However, at the present stage, the question of the nature of psychological barriers of personality requires further clarification both theoretically and practically. In particular, there is no definitive understanding of which mental phenomenon can be attributed to psychological barriers of personality. The aim of our research is to delineate the theoretical content of psychological barriers and their specificity in comparison with other mental phenomena that influence the course of individual activity. To achieve this goal and accomplish the set tasks, the following methods were employed: literature analysis, synthesis and generalization, logical analysis, conceptual analysis. The theoretical analysis of the research problem confirmed that psychological barriers predominantly manifest in connection with four aspects of the individual’s mental life: the presence of negative character traits, dispositions, and attitudes hindering corresponding activities; an unfavourable mental state of the subject for certain activities; behaviour and thinking stereotypes that become inappropriate in a new situation; limitations of a moral and ideological nature. According to the research findings, the following was identified: psychological barriers represent a mental state that obstructs individuals from carrying out desired actions or activities; the formation of psychological barriers is based on the interaction of motivational, emotional, cognitive, and volitional regulators of behaviour; personality traits cannot become psychological barriers, but they can influence their emergence; an individual’s susceptibility to developing psychological barriers depends on characteristics such as increased anxiety, presence of various complexes, as well as personality traits like indecisiveness, lack of confidence, shyness, low self-esteem, and others.

PERSONAL PROPERTIES AND COMPETENCES OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN
SOCIOECONOMIC PROFESSIONS

SUMMARY:
The urgency of the problem. Since empathy is a basic meta-skill of specialists in socionomic professions and, in general, a condition for the existence of human civilization, studying the specifics of the development of this phenomenon in specialists in helping professions is extremely important for the implementation of targeted psychological interventions. The purpose of the study was to study the temporal aspect of the development of empathy and its personal correlates in future specialists of socionomic professions. We assumed that globalization processes, technological development, in particular the virtualization of social and interpersonal relationships, the deepening of uncertainty situations determine the negative dynamics of the evolutionary development of personal empathy. Research methods: test for determining the level of empathy development for teenagers and young men by L. P. Zhuravlova, self-actualization test by Yu. E. Alyoshina, L. Ya. Gozman, M. V. Kroz (SAT), self-confidence test by V. G. Romeka, test-questionnaire for researching the level of assertiveness (modified by V. Capponi, T. Novak), questionnaire by K. Thomas "Determining ways to regulate conflicts" (strategic forms of behavior in a conflict situation), B. Bass’s method of diagnosing personality orientation, adapted by L. P. Zhuravlova and M. K. Romanova with the aim of diagnosing ecological (ecocentric) orientation. The results. The obtained results confirmed the hypothesis regarding the negative evolutionary dynamics of human empathy. Finding empirical personal correlates of empathy of future specialists in the socionomic direction is a condition for the actualization and formation of professional competencies, in particular soft skills. The psychocomplex of empathic determinants of soft skills of future specialists in socionomic professions is represented by a system of personal correlates of integral empathy and compassion (its cognitive-emotional form). The components of the psychocomplex are empathy, contact, cognitive needs, creativity, assertiveness, ecocentric orientation. Possession of such meta-skills will allow the latter to create facilitative spaces for professional psychological assistance and support for victims of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
