“…There are two possible reasons for this result. First, marital conflict is a negative experience for children in the family, and the negative emotions generated by such experiences can lead to addictive behaviors [ 70 ]. Second, parental care and warmth are important resources for child growth.…”

With the increasing use of smartphones in our lives, technoference has become a new threat to family relationships and child development. The present study explored the impact of technoference in conjugal interactions on child smartphone dependence and its underlying mechanism. The participants were 6923 fourth grade children (55.0% boys; the average age was 10.60 years) in 545 primary schools and their parents (35.3% fathers). We found that technoference in conjugal interactions was significantly associated with child smartphone dependence. Technoference in conjugal interactions indirectly affected child smartphone dependence through marital conflict or coparenting and a chain mediation between marital conflict and coparenting. These findings support the spillover theory and provide relevant empirical evidence and advance our understanding of parental functioning on child smartphone dependence within the Chinese culture.

“…Prior studies have investigated the association between psychological distress and academic burnout but reached the opposite conclusion. Smith and Emerson (2021) have indicated that academic burnout and its dimensions had effects on psychological distress, whereas other scholars thought that negative emotions worsened academic burnout (Salmela-Aro et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2022). Existing research, however, has primarily focused on college students, and this relationship among junior high school students was not well explored.…”

Parental burnout is an emerging hot issue in discussions about children’s mental health and development. However, little is known about the underlying psychological mechanisms of parental burnout on children’s academic burnout. To fill in this gap, we aim to examine the relationship between parental burnout and adolescents’ academic burnout, as well as the mediating effects of harsh discipline, adolescents’ psychological distress, and the moderating effect of gender. A sample of 871 junior high school students (477 boys and 394 girls) and their primary caregivers from Eastern China participated in this study. The results showed a direct relationship between parental burnout and academic burnout as well as an indirect relationship through the mediating role of psychological distress and the chain-mediating roles of parental harsh discipline and psychological distress. Furthermore, we discovered that fathers’ parental burnout had a stronger effect on children’s psychological distress than mothers. These findings contribute to our understanding of how parental burnout relates to children’s academic burnout and underline the significance of fathers’ parental burnout.

“…Although there is no direct evidence to support the relationship between psychological distress and phubbing behavior, indirect evidence can be obtained by examining research on adjacent concepts. For example, previous studies have found that negative emotion (e.g., stress, anxiety, and depression) is an important predictor of phubbing (Davey et al, 2018; Zhang et al, 2022). When parental burnout is high, children may experience a higher level of psychological distress, which may in turn lead to more phubbing behaviors.…”

Given its negative consequences for children's mental health and academic performance, parental burnout has recently drawn researchers’ attention. However, its effects on children's behavior remain unclear. To fill this gap, this study examined the relationship between parental burnout and adolescents’ phubbing as well as the mediating roles of parental phubbing and adolescents’ psychological distress based on the family system theory. This study included 871 adolescents and their primary caregivers. Results indicated positive correlations between parental burnout, parental phubbing, adolescents’ psychological distress and adolescents’ phubbing. Parental burnout had a direct relationship with adolescents’ phubbing; it also had an indirect relationship with adolescents’ phubbing through the independent mediating roles of parental phubbing and adolescents’ psychological distress as well as the chain-mediating roles of these two factors. The findings contribute to our understanding of how parental burnout is related to adolescents’ phubbing and highlight the importance of attending to parental phubbing and adolescents’ psychological distress in preventing and intervening in adolescents’ phubbing.
