This study aimed to investigate the predictor roles of self-compassion, sub-dimensions of parental reflective functioning, pre-mentalizing modes, certainty about mental states, interest and curiosity in mental states, and adaptive and maladaptive dimensions of perfectionism on parental stress. In this study, which used a correlational research design, participants were selected using convenience sampling. The sample comprised 579 parents (502 mothers, and 77 fathers) living in Türkiye who have at least one child between the ages of 0-5. The data were collected through the demographic information form, the Parental Stress Scale, the Self-Compassion Scale, the Parental Reflective Functioning Scale-Short Form, and the Revised Almost Perfectionism Scale. Before the main analyses, the validity and reliability of the scales were checked. Although the validity of the scales was confirmed in the current sample, interest and curiosity in mental states and pre-mentalizing modes sub-dimensions of parental reflective functioning did not reveal adequate reliability values. Thus, the only certainty about mental states sub-dimension of parental reflective functioning was included in the model. Simultaneous regression analysis was performed, and results indicated a significant model, which explained the 27% of the variance in parental stress. The self- compassion and adaptive perfectionism were found as significant negative predictors and maladaptive perfectionism was found as a significant positive predictor of parental stress. Certainty about mental states was found as an insignificant predictor although bivariate correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between these two variables. Semi-partial variances of self-compassion, adaptive perfectionism, and maladaptive perfectionism were 10.4%, 1.7%, and 1.6%, respectively.
