Parenting stress is a critical factor influencing family dynamics, often undermining the quality of coparenting. Exploring the mechanisms through which parenting stress impacts coparenting and the potential mediating role of parental self-efficacy is essential for developing effective family-based interventions. This study aims to examine the mediating role of parental self-efficacy in the relationship between parenting stress and coparenting. The sample consisted of 240 parents (79.6% female) aged 25-58 (M = 36.5). Participants completed the Parenting Stress scale, the Berkeley Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Coparenting Scale. Parenting stress showed a significant negative association with both coparenting quality and parenting self-efficacy. Furthermore, parenting self-efficacy was found to mediate the association between parenting stress and coparenting. These results highlight the important role of parents' self-efficacy in influencing how stress influences coparenting dynamics. Strengthening parents' confidence in their parenting abilities may help buffer the harmful effects of stress and foster more cooperative, supportive coparenting practices.

Introduction Career sustainability has become increasingly important for teachers to maintain long-term professional engagement and effectiveness. This study examined the serial mediating roles of occupational self-efficacy and professional identity in the relationship between person-job fit and career sustainability among teachers.Methods The study employed a correlational survey design. A total of 390 teachers working in Turkiye participated in the study. Data were collected using the Career Sustainability Scale, the Person-Job Fit Scale, the Occupational Self-efficacy Scale, and the Perceived Professional Identity Scale. We tested the research hypotheses using a serial mediation analysis with Hayes' PROCESS Macro Model 6.Results The findings show positive and significant relationships among person-job fit, occupational self-efficacy, professional identity, and career sustainability. Although the direct effect of person-job fit on career sustainability is not statistically significant, the indirect effects via occupational self-efficacy and professional identity are significant. The serial mediation analysis further shows that person-job fit is related to teachers' occupational self-efficacy, which may, in turn, be related to their professional identity and, consequently, to career sustainability.Conclusion The findings indicate a significant indirect relationship between person-job fit and teachers' career sustainability, mediated by occupational self-efficacy and professional identity. These findings highlight the importance of holistically considering person-job fit, occupational self-efficacy, and professional identity for teacher career sustainability.

Drawing on self-determination theory, this study examines how EPOCH well-being and resilience mediate the relationship between dissatisfaction with psychological needs and problematic digital gaming. Data were collected via questionnaires from 647 adolescents aged 13-19 (M = 15.80, SD = 1.10), 55.8% of whom were girls, using a convenience sampling method. Structural equation modeling was employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Results indicate a significant positive association between dissatisfaction with psychological needs and problematic digital gaming. Moreover, both EPOCH well-being and resilience were found to mediate this relationship. By highlighting the role of psychological resources in adolescence, this study makes novel theoretical and practical contributions to understanding the associations between psychological need dissatisfaction and problematic digital gaming. This is a cross-sectional study, which limits the generalization of the research results. The participants are adolescents attending middle schools in some rural areas of T & uuml;rkiye, which limits the generalizability of the research results to adolescents in other parts of T & uuml;rkiye and the world. Additionally, research data were obtained through self-report scales. This may lead adolescents to respond in line with their developmental perceptions of social desirability.
