The correlation of used strategies of self-regulation with the tendency to burnout among psychologists

The paper investigates the issue of emotional burnout using specialists in helping professions (educational psychologists and practicing psychological consultants) as case studies. Its relevance is justified by the acute demand for psychological and pedagogical assistance in modern conditions of society, which creates the need to study the emotional state of specialists providing emergency and long-term psychological assistance. The author assumes the existence of a correlation between the tendency to emotional burnout and the self-regulation strategies used by psychologists. The empirical research data characterizing the correlation between emotional burnout components and priority types of cognitive regulation of emotions is analyzed. In addition, the research data partially confirmed the hypothesis about the existence of an interrelation between the studied components. The application of the obtained results is advisable in the process of psychological and pedagogical support of specialists and in the consulting practice, the preparation of preventive and correctional programs, and also in the development of training courses in this area.
