Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Previous researchers have not explored the link between parents transferring unfulfilled ambitions onto children and parental burnout (PB). Using cross-sectional data and structural equation modeling analysis, the present study examined the mediating roles of parental perfectionism (PP) and extrinsic aspirations on the path from parents transferring unfulfilled ambitions to PB in a sample of 491 Vietnamese parents (mean age = 39.22, SD = 6.83 years). Participants completed a survey covering demographic information, transferring unfulfilled ambitions, PP, parental extrinsic aspirations, and PB. Our main findings showed that (i) parents transferring unfulfilled ambitions negatively correlated with PB and (ii) the indirect effects of PP and parental extrinsic aspirations were significant. These results suggest that parents transferring unfulfilled ambitions onto their child(ren) might serve as both a protective factor and a risk factor for parental burnout, depending on whether it stands alone or interacts with other elements. Additionally, our results highlight the urgency of creating prevention and intervention programs for PB from the perspective of PP and parental extrinsic aspirations and considering cultural specificities in research and practice on PB.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
