Two reverse models were computed. Job satisfaction, age gender, grade, length experience served as covariates.466 (M(sd) = 46.2 (10.4) years) online questionnaires completed by Italian teachers primary (n 204) middle 242) schools. Measures burnout, mentalization administered.The findings corroborated our hypotheses: all models, processing emotions mediator depersonalization, reciprocal one. satisfaction positively impacted emotion, negatively depression depersonalization; women reported anxious trait.Overall, it can be concluded that mentalize has beneficial impact well-being.
