“…It not only provided new evidence of the difference between parental and job burnout, but also found that there may be a different factor structure of the PBA. Prior studies on parental burnout used the original four-factor structure (Roskam et al, 2018), or the one-factor structure in the Chinese version of the PBA (Cheng et al, 2020). In the present study, we found that one factor structure may not stable.…”

“…In the work of Roskam et al (2018), the PBA contained four factors, i.e., exhaustion due to the parental role, emotional distancing from one's children, the feeling of being fed up, and contrast to previous self. However, in the Chinese version of the PBA, because of the high correlation, the four subfactors could be combined into one (Cheng et al, 2020). As noted by Mikolajczak et al, (2019b), to assess the distinctiveness of parental and job burnout requires investigating burnout in two clearly differentiated but equally important contexts, using validated and structurally similar instruments.…”

Recently, parental burnout has received considerable attention. However, to what extent can parental burnout be distinguished from job burnout in general? Furthermore, what is the direction of the relationship between parental and job burnout? These questions remain to be explored. The present study sought to determine the relationship between parental and job burnout, examining the effects on fathers and the mothers sample separately. Study 1 aimed to provide further evidence of the distinction between parental and job burnout. In total, 597 students, 458 fathers, and 531 mothers took part in our survey. Furthermore, both parental and job burnout could positively predict their own depression (βfather = 0.27, p < 0.01; βmother = 0.35, p < 0.01). Parental burnout could significantly predict parenting-related variables (e.g., children’s anxiety) (βfather = 0.23, p < 0.01; βmother = 0.13, p < 0.01), whereas job burnout could significantly predict job-related variables (e.g., job satisfaction) (βfather = −0.27, p < 0.01; βmother = −0.28, p < 0.01). These results support the distinction between parental and job burnout. In Study 2, a three-wave longitudinal design and a cross-lag model was established to infer the direction of the relationship. In total, 109 fathers and 144 mothers completed all questionnaires. The results showed that the previous parental burnout had a significant predictive effect on later job burnout consistently, whereas the previous job burnout did not show significant predictive effect on later parental burnout. The implications and necessary future research are also discussed.

Background: The use of network analyses in psychology has increasingly gained traction in the last few years. A network perspective views psychological constructs as dynamic systems of interacting elements. Objective: We present the first study to apply network analyses to examine how the hallmark features of parental burnout — i.e., exhaustion related to the parental role, emotional distancing from children, and a sense of ineffectiveness in the parental role — interact with one another and with maladaptive behaviors related to the partner and the child(ren), when these variables are conceptualized as a network system. Participants and setting: In a preregistered fashion, we reanalyzed the data from a French-speaking sample (n = 1551; previously published in Mikolajczak, Brianda, Avalosse, & Roskam, 2018), focusing on seven specific variables: the three hallmark parental burnout features, partner conflict, partner estrangement, neglectful behavior toward children, and violent behavior toward children. Methods: We computed two types of network models, a graphical Gaussian model to examine network structure, potential communities, and influential nodes, and a directed acyclic graph to examine the probabilistic dependencies among the different variables. Results: Both network models pointed to emotional distance as an especially potent mechanism in activating all other nodes. Conclusions: These results suggest emotional distance as critical to the maintenance of the parental burnout network and a prime candidate for future interventions, while affirming that network analysis can successfully expose the structure and relationship of variables related to parental burnout and its consequences related to the partner and the child(ren).

“…For the above reasons, the PBA can be considered a good candidate for assessing parental burnout. However, the questionnaire has thus far mainly been used among French-, English-, Chinese-, and Finnish-speaking parents (Aunola, Sorkkila, & Tolvanen, 2020;Cheng et al, 2020;Roskam et al, 2018); its validity and reliability in other cultural contexts and languages remains unknown. The possibility of cultural differences in the structure and expression of parental burnout is undeniable.…”
