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.

日本疲惫不堪的父母：日本版“父母倦怠评估”的初步验证


我们对 1,500 名日本父母进行了日本版父母倦怠评估 (PBA-J) 的因子结构和有效性研究。父母倦怠评估使用四个维度来衡量倦怠：父母角色的疲惫、父母自我的对比、厌倦感和情感疏远。 PBA-J 的验证性因素分析支持四因素模型。因子加载不变性模型支持与父母参与者进行多组结构方程建模。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）之间存在中度至强相关系数，而 PBA-J 与工作倦怠、神经质、抑郁症等之间存在弱至中度相关系数。 ‐养育子女的分歧和家庭的解体。 PBA-J 与父母的完美主义相关，尤其是对错误而不是社会人口变量的关注。总的来说，我们的研究结果为 PBA-J 的有效性提供了初步证据。
