Abstract：
Recent societal changes, including a global pandemic, have exacerbated experiences of and attention to burnout related to work and parenting. In the present study, we investigated how several social forces can act as demands and resources to impact work-related and parental burnout. We tested two primary hypotheses in a sample of women who responded to an online survey (N for analyses ranged from 2376 to 3525). We found that social comparisons, social media use, negative emotions when comparing oneself to others on social media, and a high do it all discrepancy (feeling one should be able to do it all more so than perceptions that one can) were correlated with higher reports of work-related and parental burnout. Alternatively, positive emotions when comparing oneself to others and social support were related to lower reports of work-related and parental burnout. The influence of social media use on burnout was mediated by the emotions experienced when comparing oneself to others on social media. Tests of moderation indicated that social comparisons had stronger relationships with burnout for those with higher expectations that they should be able to do it all verses can do it all. Tests of social support as a moderator of the relationships between social demands and burnout were largely non-significant. Based on these findings, we make practical suggestions for interventions to increase positive emotions experienced from social media use, and to mediate the do it all discrepancy by redefining expectations around \"doing it all.\"
摘要：
最近的社会变革,包括一场全球性的大流行,加剧了与工作和育儿相关的倦怠的经历和关注。在本研究中,我们调查了几种社会力量如何作为需求和资源来影响与工作相关的和父母的倦怠。我们在回答在线调查的女性样本中测试了两个主要假设（分析的N从2376到3525）。我们发现社会比较，社交媒体使用,在社交媒体上与他人比较时的负面情绪，和高做所有差异（感觉一个人应该能够做到这一切，而不是一个人可以做到的看法）与工作相关和父母倦怠的较高报告相关。或者，将自己与他人和社会支持进行比较时的积极情绪与较低的工作相关和父母倦怠报告有关。社交媒体使用对倦怠的影响是由在社交媒体上与他人进行比较时所经历的情绪所介导的。适度的测试表明，对于那些期望更高的人来说，社会比较与倦怠有更强的关系，他们应该能够做到这一切。作为社会需求与倦怠之间关系的调节者的社会支持测试在很大程度上并不重要。基于这些发现,我们为干预措施提出切实可行的建议，以增加社交媒体使用带来的积极情绪，并通过重新定义“做好所有”的期望来调解所有差异。
