Abstract

The study aimed to identify the relationship between the management of emotions in light of the Corona pandemic and the defense mechanisms of mothers. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive correlative approach was used. The study sample consisted of (335) working and non-working mothers in the governorates of Irbid and Ajloun, Jordan. The results also indicated that there are statistically significant differences between the arithmetic averages of emotion management due to the variables of work status and the number of children, in favor of working mothers, and in favor of mothers who have (4-6 children) compared to other mothers. the results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the arithmetic averages of all defense mechanisms due to the work status variable in favor of working mothers. And there were no differences between the arithmetic averages of the mature defense mechanisms of mothers in light of the Corona pandemic due to the educational level variable. . The results also indicated that there is a correlation between the management of emotions and defense mechanisms, and this relationship varies according to the levels of each of the functional status, social status, educational level, and number of children.
