The Relationship of Emotional State and Life-Meaning Orientations in Women's Mind During the Period of Adaptation to Parenthood

Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to an increase in the number of emotional and affective disorders of young parents during the period of adaptation to parenthood. If we consider the expectation of a child and the period of adaptation to the role of a parent as a crisis situation when a woman is faced with the uncertainty of the future, with a change in her status, it seems important to consider the role of life orientations in socio-psychological adaptation to parenthood. The object of the study is the socio-psychological adaptation to parenthood of women. The subject of the study is the role of life-meaning orientations in the process of women's adaptation to the role of a parent. The aim is to determine the role of life-meaning orientations in the process of socio-psychological adaptation of women to parenthood. As a result of the study, it was revealed that there is a relationship between the emotional state and the degree of meaningfulness of life, resilience in women during the period of adaptation to the role of a parent. In the future, based on the results of the study, a correctional program will be compiled for the prevention of emotional and affective disorders in young parents. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the correctional program will be aimed at working with the value-semantic sphere: working with the characteristics of the semantic sphere, it will be possible to correct the emotional state of women (the program will be designed for two months; there will be an opportunity to meet face-to-face or online).
