    Reappraisal, social support, and parental burnout
    (Wiley, 2022-11) Lin, G. X.; Lin, A. Gao-Xian; Arıkan, Gizem; Brytek-Matera, A.; Czepczor-Bernat, K.; Manrique-Millones, D.; Mikolajczak, M.; Overbye, H.; Roskam, I.; Szczygieł, D.; Ustundag-Budak, A. M.; Gross, J. J.; Psychology; ARIKAN, Gizem
    Objectives: Parental burnout is a prevalent condition that affects parents' functioning and health. While various protective factors have been examined, little is known about their interplay. In the current study, we examined the joint effect of two protective factors against parental burnout (one external—social support and one internal—cognitive reappraisal). We were specifically interested in whether the presence of one factor could compensate for the lack of the other. Methods: To address this question, 1835 participants were drawn from five countries: United States, Poland, Peru, Turkey and Belgium. Results: Results suggested that both social support and cognitive reappraisal were associated with lower parental burnout. An interaction was also found between the resource factors, such that the presence of cognitive reappraisal compensated for the absence of social support. Conclusions: These findings point to ways in which parental burnout could be reduced, especially in situations where social support is not easily available.

    Validation of the Turkish version of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA)
    (Wiley, 2020-11) Arıkan, Gizem; Üstündağ-Budak, A. M.; Akgün, E.; Mikolajczak, M.; Roskam, I.; Psychology; ARIKAN, Gizem
    Parental Burnout (PB) is an exhaustion syndrome resulting from exposure to overwhelming parenting stress. The current gold-standard instrument, namely, Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA) was used in the International Investigation of Parental Burnout (IIPB), a 40-country study of the prevalence of PB around the world. The IIPB study has stimulated worldwide interest, but efforts are still needed to validate the PBA in different cultures. This study is the first on PB in a collectivist, predominantly Islamic country. It aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish translation of the PBA. The PBA-Turkish was administered to 452 Turkish parents (60% mothers). The results showed that the PBA is a relevant construct in Turkish culture. We replicated the original four-factor structure of the PBA and tested a second-order factor structure through confirmatory factor analyses. The first- and second-order factor models fit the data well. The Emotional Distancing subscale, however, demonstrated lower reliability than the other subscales. We then attained measurement invariance across genders in a set of nested models with gradually increasing parameter constraints. Finally, non-working and single parents reported higher PB, pointing to the possible role of relationships and support as protective factors for Turkish parents.
