STUDY: Stress SKYROCKETING Among Parents After Pandemic And Inflation Concerns

A recent study conducted by the American Psychological Association suggests that parents are feeling the brunt of the stress brought on by the pandemic and other world crises, like Russia invading Ukraine and inflation. The most noticeable differences between parents and non-parents include stress from money, the economy as a whole, and housing costs, as well as citing the pandemic for impacting their child’s/children’s development. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

“After two years of constant crisis, it’s not surprising that Americans are stressed, but according to a new American Psychological Association poll, as a group, we’re more stressed out than anyone previously realized. And parents are leading the pack.

The organization’s annual “Stress in America” poll, released Thursday, found that the pandemic and record-high inflation already stressed Americans, and when the Ukraine invasion began, our collective stress levels spiked. The original survey of 3,012 adult Americans was conducted in February and found that 87% of respondents were troubled by the continually rising costs of necessities like food and gas, the highest “proportion of adults seen across all stressors asked about in the history of the Stress in America™ survey.” A similarly high percentage said they felt their mental health was negatively impacted by a “constant stream of crises without a break over the last two years.”

While it seems all Americans are heavily stressed, parents are having a hell of a hard time. Over 70% of parents said they feared the pandemic had negatively affected their children’s social development, academic development, and emotional health or development. Sixty-eight percent said they were concerned about their children’s cognitive and physical development after two years of Covid protocols. Parents, compared to non-parents, were more likely to name money (80% vs. 58%), the economy (77% vs. 59%), and housing costs (72% vs. 39%) as “significant sources of stress.””
