The relationship between emotional burnout and life satisfaction among adolescent parents in conflict situations

The results of a study of the relationship between emotional burnout and life satisfaction among adolescent parents have been presented. In modern world, parents face increased demands and pressures. Their child’s adolescence is particularly difficult for them. The study of life satisfaction and burnout among adolescent parents is of great importance for understanding how transforming family relationships and new demands affect the psychological state of parents. There are many approaches in the scientific literature to defining and conceptualizing life satisfaction and parental burnout. In this study, life satisfaction has been considered as a cognitive-evaluative component of overall subjective well-being, and parental burnout has been considered as a stress syndrome that includes three components: emotional exhaustion, distancing from children, and a decrease in parental effectiveness. Emotional burnout is a long-term negative experience that reduces a person’s overall assessment of their well-being. Based on these theoretical principles, an empirical study has been conducted on a Russian sample. According to the statistical analysis results using the Spearman correlation criterion, it has been revealed that life satisfaction is significantly associated with emotional exhaustion and a decrease in the sense of parental effectiveness, and the relationship with distancing turned out to be insignificant. The findings expand the understanding of the psychological state of adolescent parents and can serve as a basis for further developments in the parental well-being research.
