“…Only one study explored the consequences of PB and how ER buffered those effects (Yang et al, 2021). As expected, results showed that cognitive reappraisal acted as a protective factor of PB, directly (Swit & Breen, 2023) or by buffering the effects of lack of social support (Lin et al, 2022) and COVID-parental stress (Vertsberger et al, 2022). It seems that cognitive reappraisal by changing the meaning attributed to events and, consequently, the emotions experienced, contributed to dealing with parenting demands even in the presence of other constraints such as lack of social support and COVID-related stress.…”

“…Expressive suppression did not moderate the effect of PB on parenting practices and adolescents' mental health, nor the effect of lack of social support (Lin et al, 2022;Yang et al, 2021). However, it explained the link between perfectionism and PB (Lin et al, 2022). Probably because expressive suppression occurs late in the emotion-generative process and relates to inhibition of expressive behavior (Gross & Levenson, 1997), it may have more direct effects on individuals' functioning and do not contribute to buffer or exacerbate the effects of other psychosocial variables.…”

“…They found that expressive suppression was significantly associated with more PB. Lin et al (2022) using 1,835 parents from five countries (United States, Belgium, Poland, Peru, and Turkey) examined the moderating role of ER on the link between social support and PB. They found that expressive suppression did not moderate the effect of social support on PB.…”

“…Also, Lin et al (2021), using 347 parents from different countries found that perceived emotional display rules (namely in terms of surface acting, a close construct of suppression) and deep acting were associated with a higher regulatory effort, which, in turn, contributed to a higher vulnerability to PB. Lin et al (2022) using a sample of 439 Polish parents explored the mediating role of expressive suppression in the link between perfectionism and PB. They found that perfectionism was associated with higher suppression, which, in turn, was associated with higher PB.…”

“…For expressive suppression, four studies (k = 8) were included (Lin et al, 2021(Lin et al, , 2022(Lin et al, , 2023Swit & Breen, 2023;Yang et al, 2021). For cognitive reappraisal, four studies (k = 29) were included (Lin et al, 2022;Swit & Breen, 2023;Vertsberger et al, 2022;Yang et al, 2021). One study was excluded from the meta-analysis because it assessed the link between expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal and PB, but the authors did not provide us the correlation values to proceed with the meta-analysis (Santelices et al, 2022).…”

Objectives: Parental burnout (PB) is a widespread and pervasive syndrome. It affects individuals’ mental health and their parenting capabilities. Emotion regulation (ER) has been proposed as an important dimension for explaining PB. A robust understanding of the role played by ER in PB is crucial to informing the development of more effective psychological interventions. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis about the relationship between ER and PB. Method: Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO were searched from inception to October 2022. Quantitative studies measuring PB and ER were included. A narrative synthesis approach was used to present the results. Risk biases were assessed using a standard framework for nonintervention studies. Results: A total of 34 independent samples (N = 12,702) were included. Random-effects models indicated that expressive suppression (r = .16; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [.030, .276], p < .05) was positively related to PB and cognitive reappraisal was negative related to it (r = −.11; 95% CI = [−.155, −.069], p < .001). Discussion: Included studies were mainly cross-sectional, with samples primarily sourced from cross-country studies. Moreover, participants were predominantly middle-aged women. These factors collectively impose constraints on the generalizability of our findings, further exacerbated by the lack of inclusion of other sociodemographic information. Yet, the results may help to identify ER as a target for PB prevention programs and interventions.

Purpose The prevalence of parental burnout, a condition that has severe consequences for both parents and children, varies dramatically across countries and is highest in Western countries characterized by high individualism. Method In this study, we examined the mediators of the relationship between individualism measured at the country level and parental burnout measured at the individual level in 36 countries (16,059 parents). ResultsThe results revealed three mediating mechanisms, that is, self-discrepancies between socially prescribed and actual parental selves, high agency and self-directed socialization goals, and low parental task sharing, by which individualism leads to an increased risk of burnout among parents. ConclusionThe results confirm that the three mediators under consideration are all involved, and that mediation was higher for self-discrepancies between socially prescribed and actual parental selves, then parental task sharing, and lastly selfdirected socialization goals. The results provide some important indications of how to prevent parental burnout at the societal level in Western countries.
