Randomized trial investigates links between psychological flexibility, reflective functioning, and parental stress.

This study aims to explore how psychological flexibility and parental reflective functioning relate to parental stress independently.
362 parent/carers of children aged 0–10 completed an online questionnaire.
The study assessed psychological flexibility and parental reflective functioning's independent associations with parental stress.
Regression models were used to examine the impact of PF and PRF on parental stress.
Significant correlations found between higher parental reflective functioning and lower psychological flexibility with higher parental stress.
Psychological flexibility and specific aspects of parental reflective functioning independently predicted parental stress.
Overall, the constructs of parental reflective functioning and psychological flexibility showed partial independence with respect to parental stress.
