摘要

This study was designed to test the power of psychological type and emotional temperament to predict individual differences in self-perceived work-related psychological wellbeing and professional burnout among Catholic priests serving in Brazil. A snowball sample of 147 Catholic diocesan priests completed the Francis Burnout Inventory and the Francis Psychological Type and Emotional Temperament Scales. The Francis Burnout Inventory employs the model of balanced affect, where negative affect is assessed by the Scale of Emotional Exhaustion in Ministry and where positive affect is assessed by the Satisfaction in Ministry Scale. The data demonstrated that extraversion and emotional volatility were key predictors of individual differences in levels of both positive affect and negative affect. Priests recording high introversion and high emotional volatility were more prone to experiencing burnout. Consistent with findings from research in other cultural contexts, these data affirm the value of psychological profiling for identifying priests more susceptible to burnout.
