ABSTRACT

Because research has shown systematic associations between self-discrepancies and several psychological disorders, self-discrepancy is considered as a transdiagnostic factor in psychopathology. The current research contributes to the literature by testing both cross-sectionally and longitudinally the role of self-discrepancies in parental burnout, an exhaustion disorder in the parenting domain where standards are high and prescriptions numerous. In three studies (including a prospective one; N₁ = 109, N₂ = 1689, N_{3 Third measurement time} = 553 parents), we showed that self-discrepancies are strongly associated with parental burnout, and Study 3 showed that they even predict rank-order increases in such burnout. These results have implications for research on self-discrepancies, parental burnout and psychopathology more broadly.

摘要

由于研究表明自我差异与几种心理障碍之间存在系统关联，因此自我差异被认为是精神病理学中的跨诊断因素。目前的研究通过横断面和纵向测试自我差异在父母倦怠中的作用，这是一种标准高且处方众多的育儿领域的疲惫症，为文献做出了贡献。在三项研究中（包括一项前瞻性研究；N ₁  = 109，N ₂  = 1689，N _{3 第三次测量时间} = 553 名父母），我们发现自我差异与父母的倦怠密切相关，研究 3 表明它们甚至可以预测这种倦怠的等级顺序增加。这些结果对更广泛的自我差异、父母倦怠和精神病理学的研究产生了影响。
