- Annotation: The presented study is devoted to the study of the relationship between the attitude to technology and the degree of severity of role conflict in women who are raising minor children. The study examined the attitude of working mothers (N=31) to technologies that take into account cognitive and emotional aspects: technophilia, technophobia, technorationalism and technopessimism, as well as the diagnosis of the severity of role conflict: how much the implementation of work roles interferes with the implementation of family roles and vice versa; assessment of guilt towards the family that a woman feels because of the fact that she works; an assessment of the degree of disapproval by the husband of the fact that the wife works. It was found that technorationalism dominates among working mothers as a strategy of attitude to technology, as well as in working mothers, role conflict manifests itself in the fact that the realization of work roles interferes with the realization of family roles and vice versa. As a result of this conflict, there may be deficits in the following areas. Studying attitudes to technology and indicators of the mother's role conflict, it was found that there is a reliable direct link between Technophobia and the guilt a woman feels before her family because she works, as well as a link between Technorationalism and the degree of disapproval of the husband that his wife works. The connection of these phenomena may indicate that the spouse's disapproval of the fact that a woman works leads to the fact that she turns to technology exclusively for rational purposes, as in the case of guilt and technophobia. The prospects of this study may be a detailed study of the relationship between strategies of attitude to technology and the severity of role conflict, taking into account the number and age of children, time devoted to work, and other variables. The results of research on this issue will allow us to study in more detail the consequences of digitalization in the field of motherhood and offer recommendations for improving the efficiency and safety of use.
