Purpose Parental burnout is a psychological syndrome that develops in response to the chronic stressors in one’s role as a parent. It can be detrimental to the health and wellbeing of both parents and children and has been empirically proven to result in more negative parenting behaviours. Based on recent research, parental burnout is more prevalen...

... in China vs. -2.53 in the U.S.). The observed cultural variations are in line with the theoretical argument and related research that cultural differences in views about parenthood and child-rearing practices have important implications for parents' wellbeing (Ashton-James et al., 2013;Hansen et al., 2012;Nelson et al., 2014; for the outcome of parental burnout, Roskam et al., 2023). Nevertheless, the lack of significant negative relation between indulgent parenting and Chinese parents' life satisfaction requires further exploration before cultural differences conclusions can be drawn with confidence. ...

How does prioritizing children’s happiness over their own impact parents’ well-being? This study contributes to addressing this question by investigating the relationship between indulgent parenting (parenting style prioritizing children’s moment-to-moment happiness) and parents’ well-being through an interdependent, dyadic approach. We focus on the congruence and discrepancies in the perception of indulgent parenting between parents and adolescents, examining their associations with parents’ depressive symptoms and life satisfaction in two remarkably different cultures sharing the norm of child-centered, intensive parenting. Survey data were collected from 122 parent-adolescent dyads in the United States and 402 dyads in China. Using response surface analysis (RSA), we found that parents reported the most optimal well-being (the lowest levels of depressive symptoms and the highest levels of life satisfaction) when parents and adolescents agreed on low indulgence. Congruence on high indulgence was linked to more depressive symptoms and lower life satisfaction in parents. The worst well-being was reported by parents in dyads characterized by perception discrepancy, where parents reported providing high indulgence to their adolescent children while their adolescents reported receiving low indulgence from the parents. These patterns are generally consistent in both countries, but cultural variations are also identified – indulgent parenting appears to have a less negative association with the well-being of Chinese parents compared to American parents.
... Influencer parents create a community on social media with like minded individuals to share the struggles they experience with parenting (e.g., how they are dealing with their child's sleeping problems, picky eating, or (rare) illness). In Western neoliberal countries, parents experience significantly heightened stress levels, explaining the noticeably higher prevalence of parental burnout in these regions (Roskam et al., 2021(Roskam et al., , 2024. More than economic inequalities or other family or individual traits, individualism -where parents are solely responsible for perfectly raising their children -was found to be the primary driver of parental exhaustion and emotional distancing from one's child (Roskam et al., 2024). ...

... Considering children as Dependents gives adults cause for reasons to restrict children's smartphone use (Yadav and Chakraborty 2022); however, this also decreases children's self-direction, simultaneously limiting the self-direction of their caregivers as they are charged with supervising children to an extent that, when supervising, they are unable to devote time to their own self-direction. This is a detriment not only for the children unable to self-direct but also for the adults who are kept from their personal self-direction (Hepburn 2020; Mone and Benga 2022)important in producing parental burnout in democratic countries-negatively affecting their mental health (Roskam et al. 2023). Therefore, with self-direction the aim, finding ways and means to permit greater self-direction in children will aid not only children but also their parents/caretakers who then would have time released from supervising children to self-direct their own lives, longitudinally representing both an individual and social benefit ). ...

Children are Dependents in a version of social construction theory regarding their inability to self-direct their behavior in democratic society. In this regard, childhood represents a lack of self-direction, a life period when people require the guidance and protection of adults. The assumed necessity of adults supervising children in democracies necessitates substantial social resources, reducing the self-direction of those charged with overseeing children. Given that self-direction defines the optimal experience of people within a democratic society, finding ways to increase the self-direction of children is an individual and a social benefit. In this regard, smartphones have improved self-direction in children. How children have become empowered to self-direct their lives with smartphone use considering social construction theory—as Advantaged, Contenders, or Deviants—is the focus of a scoping review conducted on “children, empowerment, smartphones” of the following databases: OVID, JSTOR, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The result is that children permitted to self-direct their activities aided by smartphone technology have comparable social behavior to adults positioned as Advantaged, Contenders, or Deviants, and as such, they should be encouraged to utilize smartphone technology to improve their self-direction, as doing so will augment individual and caregiver self-direction, providing increased social benefit.

Children—Dependents in Social Construction Theory—are assessed within democracies regarding their ability to self-direct their behavior concerning their associated society. In this regard, childhood represents a lack of self-direction, a life period when people require the guidance and protection of adults.

Given that self-direction defines the optimal experience of people within democratic society, finding ways to increase the self-direction of children is an individual and a social benefit.

Despite evidence that parental communication about COVID-19 can have short-term benefits such as adolescents’ increased health behaviors, less is known about the potential long-term associations between such communication and adolescent adjustment, as well as the family characteristics that facilitate such communication. Moreover, it is important to examine such processes beyond Western societies and broaden the understanding of parental communication in non-Western societies. To fill these gaps in the literature, a two-wave longitudinal study on Chinese families spanning 1 year during the pandemic (July 2020–July 2021) was conducted. Analyses revealed that the relation between parent–adolescent closeness and parental communication about COVID-19 was moderated by parental burnout. Higher parent–adolescent closeness was linked with more communication about COVID-19 only when parents experienced low, but not high, parental burnout. Moreover, the longitudinal associations between parental communication about COVID-19 and adolescent adjustment (i.e., depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and resilience) 1 year later were also moderated by parental burnout. More parental communication about COVID-19 was associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and higher levels of resilience 1 year later only when parents experienced low, but not high, parental burnout. Findings suggest future interventions to target family communication to promote adolescent well-being during challenging times, especially for families who experience higher levels of parental burnout.

Children perceived as difficult by their parents have a negative impact on family harmony. Parental factors play a significant role in the disruption of family harmony. This study investigated the impact of parental perception of their child as difficult on family harmony. Within this framework, the constructed model examined the moderating effects of parental psychological flexibility on the relationship between difficult child behaviors and parental burnout and the moderating effect of parental task sharing on the relationship between parental burnout and family harmony. Thus, this study explored the moderating mediation effect of parental burnout. The research sample comprised a total of 406 parents from across Türkiye. To test the constructed model, analyses were conducted employing SPSS 21 and the PROCESS Macro software. As a result of the conducted analyses, it was found that parents’ perception of their child as difficult significantly influenced their levels of psychological flexibility, which in turn significantly affected their levels of burnout. Furthermore, parental burnout was found to significantly influence family harmony through the level of parental task sharing. Therefore, the constructed model in this study confirmed the moderating mediation effect of parental burnout on the relationship between perceived difficult child behaviors and family harmony. It is deemed important for future studies to consider different types of families and clinical samples to understand better the impact of difficult child behaviors on family harmony.

Background. While maternal depression has been associated with child cognitive development, evidence of the parental burnout (PB) impact remains scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of maternal depression and PB with preschoolers' executive functions (EFs). Methods. Of 301 parent-child deaths, mothers completed an online survey, including Beck Depression Inventory-II and Parental Burnout Inventory. EF of their children from Moscow, Sochi, Tatarstan, and Yakutia were evaluated using Inhibition, Sentence repetition, and Card sorting tests. Spearman correlation, univariate, and multiple linear regression analyzes assessed the associations. Results. We found no significant associations between maternal depression and preschoolers' EF (p-values for all >0.50), while higher PB symptoms were associated with child better performance in the Sentence repetition task, even after adjustment for depression (B=0.047, p= 0.005). Of the covariates, maternal level of education correlated significantly with all the EF scores (p-values for all <0.03). Conclusions. PB has a unique impact on the preschoolers' EF development. Positive correlation between higher PB symptoms and better working memory tasks performance might reflect the trend of intensive parenting in Russia. Key words: executive functions, maternal depression, parental burnout, child development.

Parental burnout (PB) is a pervasive phenomenon. Parenting is embedded in cultural values, and previous research has shown the role of individualism in PB. In this paper, we reanalyze previously collected data to identify profiles based on the four dimensions of PB, and explore whether these profiles vary across countries’ levels of collectivistic-individualistic (COL-IND) values. Our sample comprised 16,885 individuals from 36 countries (73% women; 27% men), and we used a latent profile approach to uncover PB profiles. The findings showed five profiles: Fulfilled, Not in PB, Low risk of PB, High risk of PB and Burned out. The profiles pointed to climbing levels of PB in the total sample and in each of the three country groups (High COL/Low IND, Medium COL-IND, Low COL/High IND). Exploratory analyses revealed that distinct dimensions of PB had the most prominent roles in the climbing pattern, depending on the countries’ levels of COL/IND. In particular, we found contrast to be a hallmark dimension and an indicator of severe burnout for individualistic countries. Contrary to our predictions, emotional distance and saturation did not allow a clear differentiation across collectivistic countries. Our findings support several research avenues regarding PB measurement and intervention.
