Abstract: This study included 376 junior middle school students, and examined the spillover hypothesis of the ecological family theory. The children's perception of inter-parental conflict scale, the Maslach burnout inventory-student survey, and parent's perception of the co-parenting relationship survey has been used to examine whether co-parenting mediated the relationship between students' perception on parents' marital conflict and students' academic burnout. Results showed that:(1) conflict frequency, conflict intensity of parents' marital conflict factor and academic burnout have a significant positive correlation, un-supportive parents co-parenting is significantly positive related to students' academic burnout, while supportive parents' co-parenting is significantly negative correlated with students' academic burnout; parents' marital conflict is negatively correlated with parents co-parenting, higher marital conflict parents show more un-support parenting behavior in co-parenting; and (2) un-supportive parents co-parenting full mediated the relationship between parents' marital conflict and academic burnout.

Key words: junior students, parents' marital conflict, academic burnout, co-parenting
