Professional deformation is a complex psychological phenomenon that emerges as a result of long-term professional activity and manifests through changes in personality traits, emotional states, values, and behavior patterns. In primary school teachers, professional deformation becomes especially evident during the period of professional and personal maturity, when accumulated experience, routine workload, and emotional demands intersect. This article explores the psychological features of professional deformation in mature primary school teachers, focusing on emotional burnout, rigidity, reduced empathy, and changes in professional motivation. The study highlights key psychological mechanisms, analyzes scientific literature, and presents empirical findings. Based on the results, practical recommendations are proposed to prevent and mitigate professional deformation in primary education teachers.
