We examined the factorial structure and validity of a Japanese version of the Parental Burnout Assessment, the PBA-J, with 1,500 Japanese parents. The Parental Burnout Assessment measures burnout using four dimensions: exhaustion in one's parental role, contrast in parental self, feelings of being fed up, and emotional distancing. Confirmatory factor analysis on the PBA-J supported a four-factor model. Multiple-group structural equation modeling with parent participants was supported for the factor-loading invariance model. Mothers had higher parental burnout scores than fathers. We found moderate-to-strong correlation coefficients between the PBA-J and the Parental Burnout Inventory (PBI-J; the comparative burnout measure), and weak-to-moderate correlation coefficients between the PBA-J and job burnout, neuroticism, co-parenting disagreement, and family disorganization. The PBA-J was correlated with parental perfectionism, particularly with concern over mistakes rather than sociodemographic variables. Overall, our findings provide initial evidence for the validity of the PBA-J.
我们用 1500 名日本家长检验了父母倦怠评估的因子结构和效标效度,该评估的日版为 PBA-J。父母倦怠评估采用四个维度衡量倦怠:对父母角色的疲惫感、父母自我的对比感、厌烦感和情感疏远感。PBA-J 的验证性因子分析支持四因素模型。对父母参与者的多群组结构方程建模支持因子负荷不变模型。母亲的父母倦怠得分高于父亲。我们发现 PBA-J 与父母倦怠量表(PBI-J;比较倦怠测量)之间存在中等至强相关系数,与工作倦怠、神经质、共同养育分歧和家庭失序之间存在弱至中等相关系数。PBA-J 与父母完美主义相关,特别是与对错误的关注相关,而与社会人口学变量无关。总的来说,我们的研究结果为 PBA-J 的效度提供了初步证据。
