Abstract

This study examined parental values of 1725 Finnish parents (91 o/o mothers) and how the values are related to parental burnout. The data was analyzed using explorative factor analysis, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and linear regression analysis. The values loaded on five factors: 1) tradition and conformity 2) power and achievement, 3) self-direction; 4) benevolence and prosocial and 5) relatedness. The value that the Finnish parents wished their children to adopt the most was self-direction, secondly benevolence and prosocial, thirdly tradition and conformity, fourthly relatedness, and the least power and achievement. The mothers valued benevolence and prosocial more highly than the fathers, whereas the fathers valued relatedness and power and achievement more highly than the mothers. The values of power and achievement were positively related to parental burnout, whereas the values of relatedness were negatively related to parental burnout. The results may help understand the value related mechanisms behind parental burnout.
