SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FEMALE LEADERS AND THE LEVEL OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN EMOTIONALLY SIGNIFICANT MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS

Abstract

The article is aimed at the study of the socio-psychological characteristics of the female leader and  the level of her involvement in emotionally significant marital relationships. To achieve the goal and  implement the tasks, theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, systematization of  socio-psychological literature); empirical (systematization, generalization of qualitative and  quantitative research data, observations) and mathematical statistics methods (methods of  comparative and percentage analyses) were used. The features of a modern female leader are studied  and the significance of partner relations for her have been determined using the author’s methods. On  the basis of theoretical analysis, the psychological characteristics of female leaders are considered. It  has been proven that such women are assertive, have high intellectual abilities and high emotional  intelligence, which in turn contributes to the achievement of their professional goals. The author’s  own understanding of the concept of emotionally meaningful marital relationships is provided and  substantiated, the parameters and constructs of such relationships are singled out: emotional and  sensual; value-motivational; conative. Based on the results of the research, it is established that most  of the women under study have indicators of the emotional and sensual parameter at medium and low  levels. The exception was defined with high levels of emotional maturity. The formation of the value motivational parameter in the majority of the women under study was found to be at a sufficient level  to ensure the formation of emotionally meaningful relationships, in particular, the reliable type of  attachment prevails among the respondents. Determined levels of verbal/non-verbal communication  and trust in the partner are at an average level and indicate sufficient formation of the conative  component. Such female leaders are characterized by reflexivity, openness, constructiveness,  flexibility, they have almost no continuous state of anxiety and fear of being betrayed. According to  the data obtained, it is proved that the importance of the relationship with the spouse for the majority  of respondents has an average level of importance, since most of the constructs of this phenomenon  are at this level.
