“…Studies demonstrated increased parental burnout during the pandemic ( van Bakel et al, 2022), increased internalizing problems (Wu et al, 2020) and chronic pandemic-related stress among parents (Adams et al, 2021) that could lead to pandemic burnout (Yıldırım & Solmaz, 2022). These parental mental health conditions affected parents' relationships with children (Li et al, 2023). Moreover, parental relationships with adolescents could be at particular risk (Donker et al, 2021) due to the typically high turbulence characterizing adolescence as a developmental period.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and preventive measures undertaken by many governments have had a significant impact on family relationships, which could result in worsened parenting. In our study, we used network analysis to examine the dynamic system of parental and pandemic burnout, depression, anxiety, and three dimensions of relationship with an adolescent: connectedness, shared activities, and hostility. Parents (N = 374; Mage = 42.9) of at least one child at the age of adolescence completed an online survey. The central symptoms in the network were parental emotional exhaustion and parental anxiety. Parental emotional exhaustion correlated negatively with activities shared with the adolescent, but positively with hostility. Anxiety correlated positively with parental emotional exhaustion. Emotional exhaustion and anxiety were the strongest bridge symptoms between parental burnout, internalizing symptoms, and parenting. Our results suggest that psychological interventions supporting parent-adolescent relationships should address primarily parental emotional exhaustion and anxiety.

“…For instance, one longitudinal study measured the levels of anxiety/depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents from the initial surging period of COVID‐19 to 4 months after school resumption. The authors found that there was no difference in the adolescents' self‐report and parent‐report anxiety/depressive symptoms scores over time, which suggested that the impact of COVID‐19 may persist on adolescents' mental health (Li et al, 2023). Another study compared the mental health levels of Australian adolescents 1 year and 2 years after the outbreak of COVID‐19, which found that adolescents, especially girls, reported higher levels of psychological difficulties in 2022 than in 2021 (Kaltschik et al, 2022).…”

The current study examined the idea that maternal involvement during the COVID‐19 school closure period could contribute to the development of adolescents' daily routines, which could ultimately associate with their psychological and academic adjustment after return‐to‐school. Data were collected from 520 Chinese adolescents (Mage = 12.75 years, SDage = 1.48 years) and their mothers during the COVID‐19 school closure and one year after return‐to‐school. Results indicated that maternal involvement in both education and leisure activities predicted more consistent adolescents' daily routines during the school closure period and then contributed to their more consistent daily routines after return‐to‐school, resulting in less psychological maladjustment and better academic outcomes. Findings highlight the importance of maternal involvement and daily routines in the context of COVID‐19.

The COVID‐19 pandemic has escalated concerns regarding internet addiction. This study investigated the impact of an online photograph intervention on internet addiction and identified its effectiveness mechanisms. Individuals diagnosed with internet addiction (internet addiction test score > 36, Mage = 22.85, 78.6% women) were randomly allocated to either the intervention (n = 64) or control (n = 81) groups. For 10 days, the intervention group was tasked with photographing “things that make you feel a sense of control in life” and writing 100‐word descriptions explaining the reason for the sense of control elicited by the image. Meanwhile, the control group participated only in the assessments. Assessments were conducted before the intervention, immediately afterward and 7 days later. A significant interaction between group and time was observed, with the intervention group showing a notable reduction in internet addiction and an increase in sense of control. The sense of control at post‐test significantly mediated the intervention's effect on reducing internet addiction at follow‐up, but only among individuals with high perceived social support. The findings indicate that online photography interventions can effectively diminish internet addiction, with a sense of control acting as a potent mechanism for intervention, particularly in individuals with substantial perceived social support.
