Abstract

This study examined the mediating role of social connectedness and perceived spousal support in explaining the relationship between parental burnout, and their interpersonal cognitive distortions. The research was conducted within the framework of the correlational model. The research sample consisted of 526 married parents. Data were analyzed using Regression analysis and SPSS Process Macro. As a result of the study, it was found that parents’ interpersonal cognitive distortions positively and significantly explained their burnout. It was found that social connectedness and perceived spousal support had a significant partial mediating role in defining the relationship between parental burnout, and their interpersonal cognitive distortions. The mediation effect was found to be close to a moderate effect size. In light of these results, it was suggested that psychoeducational activities should be carried out to prevent or reduce burnout in parents to develop rational thoughts about their interpersonal relationships, strengthen their social connectedness, and increase supportive relationships between spouses.
