Abstract
Background
Parental burnout's (PB) literature has blossomed, showing that PB is a major predictor in child maltreatment. But it is unclear at what PB stage parents become violent.
Methods
1466 parents answered a pre-registered three-wave longitudinal survey.
Results
PB seems to start with exhaustion, which catalyzes the development of all other PB symptoms. There seems to be a process relating PB symptoms to violence towards the offspring: exhaustion is prospectively linked to an increase in emotional distancing and feeling fed up, which are then linked to a prospective increase in violence.
Conclusions
Researchers would benefit from focusing more on the symptoms of PB, to increase nuance and give even more concrete suggestions for clinical practice. Clinicians should focus on reducing exhaustion as it seems to be the starting point of PB, and be alert to child maltreatment when emotional distancing or feeling fed up are mentioned. Implications are discussed.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
