Abstract
Emotional burnout levels among representatives of adult children and adult parents who are a part of the same family at different periods of its development with children of different ages have been considered. The research was conducted by adult children and their adult parents who belong to the same social circle such as employees who are related to each other, but already living separately. The survey to identify the emotional burnout level was carried out using the authors’ express questionnaire in families of two generations at once: adult children and their parents according to a number of characteristic criteria common to them in remote form, using Google’s online platform, Yandex. Forms. The processing took place in real time, and the test results have been consolidated in a database in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. As the empirical research result, the emotional burnout features in men and women from the same family belonging to different generations have been identified. Men in adulthood have emotional burnout no different from young men, and married women from the adult parents category have higher emotional burnout. Emotional burnout in adult unmarried women is lower than in married ones, while in married adult men it is lower than in the single men group. Emotional burnout in adults depends not only on professional activity, but also on family well-being, which must be considered when working with family members.
