Effects of Parental Burnout on Children's Executive Function:The Chain-mediating Effect of Home Literacy Environment and Learning Quality
Objective:To investigate the mediating role of home literacy environment and learning quality in the influ-ence of parental burnout on children's executive function.Methods:294 mothers of children were investigated by Parental Burnout Assessment(PBA),Childhood Executive Functioning Inventory(CHEXI),Home Literacy Environment Question-naire and Preschool Learning Behavioral Scale(PLBS).Results:(1)There was a significant correlation(r=-0.504～0.392,P＜0.05)between parental burnout,children's executive function,home literacy environment,and learning quality;(2)After controlling for gender and family socioeconomic status,parental burnout had a positive predictive effect on executive func-tion problems in children(β=0.249,P＜0.001);In this predictive relationship,the home literacy environment and children's learning quality could not only play a mediating role individually but also play a chain mediating role through the home liter-acy environment → learning quality path,and the mediating effect accounted for 36.42％of the total effect.Conclusion:Parental burnout is a significant risk factor for the development of executive function in children,and its impact can be achieved by damaging the home literacy environment and hindering the development of children's learning quality.
