The study of parental stress and ways of coping with it in women in the context of intensive motherhood

Complex dynamic changes in modern society place increased demands on parents, focusing them on certain educational preferences and educational practices. Intensive motherhood as a model of parental behavior places great responsibility on women, increasing their likelihood of stress associated with the performance of the parental role. The study involved 143 Russian-speaking women (N = 143) aged 20 to 53 years (M = 36.62, SD = 6.03) with 1-4 children. When analyzing the level of parental and everyday stress, their close positive relationship was revealed. In the context of intensive motherhood, the severity of parental stress is due to the degree of satisfaction of a woman with parenthood, where a social support resource acts as protection from parental and everyday stress.
