Child Behavior Problems and Parenting Stress in Underserved Families of Children with ASD: Investigation of Family Resources and Parenting Self-efficacy / Kevin G. STEPHENSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-10 (October 2023)

Parenting self-efficacy and family resources may influence this association. We examined cross-sectional statistical mediation effects of parenting self-efficacy on the relationship between child behavior problems and parenting stress and hypothesized that family-level resources moderated this indirect effect. Participants included 132 underserved (Medicaid-eligible) children with ASD (ages 3-13) with racial/ethnic diversity; many (63%) had intellectual disability. Greater externalizing problems were linked with lower parenting self-efficacy, which in turn was associated with increased parenting stress. A larger mediation effect was observed for families with fewer resources. A plausible alternative model (parenting stress mediating parenting self-efficacy) exhibited poorer fit. Implications for family supports and benefits of longitudinal follow-up are discussed.

Participants were autistic children, ages 18?60?months of age. MAYAC was initially 5?h of intervention per week, one of which was parent training and the other four direct therapy focusing on social communication and engagement, but additional modules could be added for up to 10?h per week. Comprehensive behavior intervention was delivered for ?15?h per week. Outcome measures included the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales; VABS, the Ohio Autism Clinical Improvement Scale ? Autism Severity; OACIS ? AS and the Pervasive Developmental Disorder Behavior Inventory ? Parent; PDDBI-P. Implementation and parent satisfaction measures were also collected. Fifty-six children, mean age of 34?months, were randomized. Within-group analysis revealed significant improvements from baseline to week 24 for both MAYAC (p?95%) as was parent satisfaction. Findings from this small trial are promising and suggest MAYAC may be an alternative for some young autistic children and their families to CBI, TAU.

Construct Validity of the Autism Impact Measure (AIM) / Micah O MAZUREK in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-7 (July 2020)

The current study examined the structural and convergent validity of the AIM in a large sample of children with ASD. The results of a series of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses yielded a final model with five theoretically and empirically meaningful subdomains: Repetitive Behavior, Atypical Behavior, Communication, Social Reciprocity, and Peer Interaction. The final model showed very good fit both overall and for each of the five factors, indicating excellent structural validity. AIM subdomain scores were significantly correlated with measures of similar constructs across all five domains. The results provide further support for the psychometric properties of the AIM.

Evaluating the Use of Exploratory Factor Analysis in Developmental Disability Psychological Research / Megan NORRIS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 40-1 (January 2010)

This paper described EFA and its methodological variations. Then, key methodological variations were used to evaluate EFA usage over a 10-year period in five leading developmental disabilities journals. Sixty-six studies were located and evaluated on multiple procedural variations. Only 35% (n = 23) of studies used EFA; principal components analysis was the model used most often (n = 40, 61%). Orthogonal rotation was used most often (n = 39, 59%). A large portion of studies ran analyses with a subject: item ratio larger than 5:1 (n = 49, 74%). Most researchers employed multiple criteria for retaining factors (n = 45, 68%). Overall, results indicated that published recommendations and guidelines for the use of EFA are largely ignored.

Measurement invariance of the Child Behavior Checklist in autistic toddlers / Tara L. BENNINGER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 119 (January 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 119 (January 2025) . - p.102500 Titre : Measurement invariance of the Child Behavior Checklist in autistic toddlers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tara L. BENNINGER, Auteur ; Megan NORRIS, Auteur ; Andrea N. WITWER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102500 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Factor analysis  Measurement invariance  Child behavior checklist  Challenging behavior  Autism spectrum disorder  Toddlers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Challenging behavior has been examined in older children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but less is known about these behaviors in toddlers, due in part to variability in measurement and limited instruments available for this population. To address this need, this study examined the psychometric properties of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), a commonly used and widely validated measure of challenging behavior, in a group of toddlers with ASD. Method Participants included 496 toddlers aged 18-48 months with (n=398) and without (n= 100) a diagnosis of ASD. Psychometrics of the CBCL were analyzed including internal consistency, factor structure, and measurement invariance. Results Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated acceptable fit for the tested model, and internal consistency was largely acceptable. All levels of measurement invariance were tested for each subscale. The Emotional Reactivity, Anxious/Depressed, Withdrawn, and Aggressive Behavior subscales achieved scalar invariance, while the Attention Problems subscale achieved metric invariance, and the Somatic Complaints subscale did not achieve even configural invariance. Conclusions Results indicate the current CBCL conceptualization of challenging behavior in autistic toddlers is consistent with such constructs in older autistic children and provide preliminary support for the use of the CBCL to assess for challenging behavior in toddlers with ASD. Measurement invariance (MI) analyses support the construct validity of the CBCL in toddlers with ASD. However, based on the results of the MI analyses, some caution is warranted with specific subscales when conducting group comparison analyses between toddlers with and without ASD.
