Abstract

To explore the relationship among parenting burnout, parent-child relationships, as well as the roles of marital quality and co-parenting, 416 parents from primary and middle schools were tested by using the Parental Burnout Inventory, Relationship Assessment Scale, Parents’ Perceptions of the Co-Parenting Relationship and Child-Parent Relationship Scale. The results showed that: 1) The level of parenting burnout among fathers was significantly higher than that of mothers. 2) Parenting burnout of fathers and mothers could significantly predict their own parent-child relationship, and there was also a significant negative correlation between them. 3) The fathers’ marital quality partially mediated the relationship between the fathers’ parenting burnout and the parent-child relationship; however, the mothers’ marital quality had no significant mediating effect on the relationship between the mothers’ parenting burnout and the parent-child relationship. 4) The fathers’ marital quality and co-parenting played a chain mediating role in the relationship between the fathers’ parenting burnout and the parent-child relationship; similarly, the mothers’ marital quality and co-parenting also played a chain mediating role in the relationship between the mothers’ parenting burnout and the parent-child relationships.

Key words： parental burnout; parent-child relationship; marital quality; co-parenting; adolescent
