“…The results of the present study do not only corroborate the consistent conclusions drew from previous studies around the globe according to which objective sociodemographic characteristics account for a low amount of explained variance in parental burnout (Arikan et al, 2020;Gannagé et al, 2020;Matias et al, 2020;Mousavi et al, 2020;Roskam et al, 2021;Stănculescu et al, 2020;Szczygieł et al, 2020), but they also show that, within a context of lockdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic, these objective sociodemographic characteristics continue to have a little predictive power.…”

“…Yet, counter-intuitively, objective sociodemographic factors only explain a small proportion of variance in parental burnout. This has been consistently demonstrated across independent studies which rely on large samples of participants originating from different cultures around the globe (Arikan et al, 2020;Gannagé et al, 2020;Matias et al, 2020;Mikolajczak, Brianda, et al, 2018;Mikolajczak, Raes, et al, 2018;Mousavi et al, 2020;Roskam et al, 2021;Stănculescu et al, 2020;Szczygieł et al, 2020).…”

Counter-intuitively, sociodemographic characteristics account for a small proportion of explained variance in parental burnout. The present study conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic asks whether (i) sociodemographic characteristics are more predictive of parental burnout than usual in a situation of lockdown, (ii) situational factors, that is, the specific restrictive living conditions inherent in the context of lockdown, predict parental burnout better than sociodemographic characteristics do, and (iii) the impact of both sociodemographic and situational factors is moderated or mediated by the parents’ subjective perception of the impact that the health crisis has had on their parenting circumstances. Results show that, within the context of lockdown, both sociodemographic and situational factors explain a negligible proportion of variance in parental burnout. By contrast, parents’ cognitive appraisals of their parenthood within the context of the health crisis were found to play both a crucial mediating and moderating role in the prediction of parental burnout.

“…Thus, the maximum score on the PBA is 138, indicating that all the symptoms of burnout are evident daily. The PBA score has been shown to be a reliable and valid assessment tool in various cultural contexts (e.g., Arikan et al, 2020; Aunola et al, 2020; Cheng et al, 2020; Furutani et al, 2020; Matias et al, 2020; Mousavi et al, 2020; Roskam et al, 2018; Stănculescu et al, 2020; Szczygieł et al, 2020). In addition, measurement invariance of PBA was reported across sex and 21 languages in a cross-cultural study of 42 countries (Roskam et al, 2021).…”

Since parental burnout can have detrimental consequences for parents, couples, and children, easy-to-use, reliable, and valid practical tools for the early detection of parental burnout are required. We developed and validated a brief scale to identify burned-out parents and parents at burnout risk. In Study 1, we developed the 5-item Brief Parental Burnout scale (BPBs) based on the gold standard measure of parental burnout, the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA). We applied Item Response Theory Graded Response Model (GRM) analyses on the data of 1,725 Finnish parents. Compared against the PBA total score, the five selected items showed both high sensitivity and specificity in screening parental burnout. As expected, burned-out parents and those at burnout risk according to the BPBs displayed higher depressive symptoms, lower self-esteem, and more frequent sleep disruptions than nonburned-out parents. In Study 2, we tested the sensitivity and specificity of the BPBs by using both the BPBs and the PBA as independent assessment tools in a sample of 1,088 Finnish parents. In Study 3, the high sensitivity and specificity of the BPBs found in Study 2 were replicated in an independent sample of 104 Belgian parents. We further demonstrated the concurrent validity of the BPBs test score interpretations by showing that burned-out parents, or those at burnout risk, reported higher child neglect and parental violence than non-burnedout parents. Because of its user-friendliness and the strong psychometric properties of its test score, the BPBs is a good candidate to use as a screening tool for parental burnout.

“…(p. 3). The authors of the paper on Romania (Stȃnculescu, Roskam, Muntean, & Gurza, 2020), also refer to the "collectivist" tradition of their society, based on its agrarian history and further instilled during the Communist period. Moving beyond the I/C dimension, the authors of the paper on Turkey (Arikan, Üstündag-Budak, Akgün, Mikolajczak, & Roskam, 2020) use Kagitçibaşi's (2007) more differentiated two-dimensional model of family types to describe three different kinds of families.…”
