- Assessing the power of the Francis Psychological Type and Emotional Temperament Scales (FPTETS) to predict professional burnout alongside lifestyle and support choices among Catholic priests in PortugalPublication . Fabri, Janaína Mengal Gomes; Francis, Leslie J.; McKenna, Ursula; Roldão, Liliana Isabel Faria; Caldeira, Sílvia; Pereira, Eliane RamosThis study was designed to test the power of personality, engagement with leisure activities, and professional support, in order to predict susceptibility to professional burnout among Catholic priests in Portugal. Data provided by 208 priests who completed both the Francis Psychological Type and Emotional Temperament Scales and the Francis Burnout Inventory demonstrated that reported levels of burnout were significantly lower among stable extraverts and among those who engaged more frequently with leisure activities, while no further predictive power was associated with engaging a discipler or mentor. These findings carry implications for the pastoral care and pastoral oversight of priests.
- Psychological type, emotional temperament, and burnout among Catholic priests in Brazil: a pilot empirical enquiryPublication . Francis, Leslie J.; Fabri, Janaína Mengal Gomes; McKenna, Ursula; Guimarães, Fábio de Freitas; Silva, Rose Mary Costa Rosa Andrade; Simões Figueiredo, Amélia; Caldeira, Sílvia; Pereira, Elaine RamosThis 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.
- Work-related psychological wellbeing of Catholic priests in Portugal: cross-cultural adaptation of the Francis Burnout inventoryPublication . Fabri, Janaína Mengal Gomes; Francis, Leslie J.; McKenna, Ursula; Roldão, Liliana Isabel Faria; Pereira, Eliane Ramos; Village, Andrew; Caldeira, SílviaThe present study was designed to translate the Francis Burnout Inventory Revised into Portuguese and to test this translation among a snowball sample of 266 Catholic priests serving in Portugal (91% diocesan). The data demonstrated: good internal consistency reliability for the two scales proposed by this instrument (negative affect, α = .89 and positive affect, α = .89); support for the association with a measure of self-compassion; and support for the theory of balanced affect against a measure of thoughts of leaving ministry. The priests were found to display a high level of positive affect that masked a degree of negative affect, with a third of them reporting that fatigue and irritation were part of their daily experience.
