Abstract:
There could be as high as 8% of parents suffering from parental burnout—a chronic stress-related disorder experienced in the parental role. It is worrying because parental burnout jeopardizes both parental (e.g., suicidal ideations) and children’s (e.g., depression) adjustment. As regards its etiological antecedents, Western culture seems to play a crucial role: Western parents are five times more vulnerable to parental burnout than parents in the rest of the world. But why parents in the West are especially vulnerable to parental burnout? What factors shared by these communities can explain such an association?
To answer these questions, the present research focused on cultural factors and utilized both a top-down (i.e., with a priori hypotheses) and bottom-up (i.e., without a priori hypotheses) approach to examine which and how Western cultural factors predispose parents to parental burnout. Based on these findings, we further proposed and verified how to protect parents from parental burnout.
