“…In Study 1, we analyzed the internal structure of the PBA using the ESEM approach considered as the combination of the best components of CFA and conventional EFA. Previous research supported a general factor of the PBA through CFA and second-order hierarchical factor modeling (e.g., Matias et al, 2020 ; Mousavi et al, 2020 ; Sodi et al, 2020 ; Szczygieł et al, 2020 ; Roskam et al, 2021 ). By means of bifactor modeling and ESEM, the findings hereby presented complements previous studies on the suitability of the Parental Burnout general score for accurately assessing parental burnout ( Canivez, 2016 ).…”

“…These samples cannot be considered representative of the entire population in each country either, which could limit the generalizability of the findings. However, there is now strong empirical evidence that sociodemographic characteristics explain a very small amount of variance in parental burnout ( Mikolajczak et al, 2017 ; Arikan et al, 2020 ; Matias et al, 2020 ; Mousavi et al, 2020 ; Sodi et al, 2020 ; Szczygieł et al, 2020 ; Roskam et al, 2021 ). Chances are that the differences discovered across countries were not due to sociodemographic correlates.…”

“…In order to test the validity of its internal structure, we first conducted an exploratory analysis using an Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) framework ( Marsh et al, 2010 ). ESEM is an interesting alternative approach to classical Confirmatory Factorial Analysis (CFA) commonly used in previous studies (e.g., Aunola et al, 2020 ; Sodi et al, 2020 ; Szczygieł et al, 2020 ; Roskam et al, 2021 ). In CFA, the influence exerted on a given item by dimensions other than the one(s) to which this item belongs can be hidden ( Marsh et al, 2010 ).…”

Parental burnout is a unique and context-specific syndrome resulting from a chronic imbalance of risks over resources in the parenting domain. The current research aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA) across Spanish-speaking countries with two consecutive studies. In Study 1, we analyzed the data through a bifactor model within an Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) on the pooled sample of participants (N = 1,979) obtaining good fit indices. We then attained measurement invariance across both gender and countries in a set of nested models with gradually increasing parameter constraints. Latent means comparisons across countries showed that among the participants’ countries, Chile had the highest parental burnout score, likewise, comparisons across gender evidenced that mothers displayed higher scores than fathers, as shown in previous studies. Reliability coefficients were high. In Study 2 (N = 1,171), we tested the relations between parental burnout and three specific consequences, i.e., escape and suicidal ideations, parental neglect, and parental violence toward one’s children. The medium to large associations found provided support for the PBA’s predictive validity. Overall, we concluded that the Spanish version of the PBA has good psychometric properties. The results support its relevance for the assessment of parental burnout among Spanish-speaking parents, offering new opportunities for cross-cultural research in the parenting domain.

“…The current study's major aim was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of the PBA (PBAHUN) by testing its reliability as well as its factor structure and validity. Previously, several studies (Aunola et al, 2020;Arikan et al, 2020;Gannagé et al, 2020;Matias et al, 2020;Mousavi et al, 2020;Sodi et al, 2020;Stănculescu et al, 2020) confirmed either a fourfactor, firstorder model of the PBA or a second order model, wherein global parental burnout emerged as a secondorder latent factor in addition to the four domainspecific factors. We hypothesized that one of these two factor structures would be replicated in the Hungarian data.…”

Introduction: Parental burnout might take place when excessive demands overwhelm the parents’ resources. Aims: To develop and validate the Hungarian version of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA-HUN), an instrument designed to measure parental burnout; and to determine the prevalence of parental burnout in Hungary. Methods: Data were collected via an online survey from parents with at least one child living in the household (N = 1215; 82.6% mothers; Mage = 38.68 years; SDage = 6.27 years). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to investigate the factor structure of the PBA-HUN. Results: The four-factor structure of the original PBA was replicated, confirming the following factors: exhaustion in one’s parental role, contrast with one’s parental role, feelings of being fed up, and emotional distancing from one’s children. A second-order model with a higher-order factor representing overall parental burnout also fit the data well. The internal consistency of both the subscale and total scores was excellent (α ≥ 0.84). Parental burnout had a moderately strong negative correlation with life satisfaction, and weak or moderate positive correlations with perceived stress, depression, vital exhaustion, and COVID-specific perceived stress supporting the construct validity of the PBA-HUN. The prevalence of parental burnout stood at 5.8% in this sample. The weak relationship between PBA-HUN scores and sociodemographic factors was also similar to those found in prior studies. Parental burnout correlated negatively with the number of hours spent sleeping and engaging in spare time activity, respectively. Conclusions: The PBA-HUN is a reliable and valid tool to assess parental burnout in Hungary.

“…Does living in a "collectivistic" cultural environment have an effect on the risks and resources related to parental burnout? The authors of the Africa chapter (Sodi et al, 2020) state that "In many traditional African communities, parenting occurs within a collectivist environment of kin and community networks," (p. 2) and they suggest that "the pressure that most Western parents face in order to be seen as good parents is likely to dissipate in the role-sharing arrangement that is created by the African extended family system." (p. 3).…”
