An item response theory analysis of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form with parents of children with autism spectrum disorders / Anat ZAIDMAN-ZAIT in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51-11 (November 2010)

ZUMBO, Auteur ; Stephen WELLINGTON, Auteur ; Vikram DUA, Auteur ; Karen KALYNCHUK, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.1269-1277 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism-spectrum-disorders parenting-stress item-response-theory Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  The Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) is one of the most widely used instruments for measuring parenting stress in families of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, no research to date has examined the psychometric properties of the PSI-SF in a sample of parents of young children with ASD. In this regard, item response theory (IRT) can be used to estimate how much information or discrimination each item of a scale offers across the entire range of the latent variable being measured, by creating individual item information curves or profiles. The purpose of this study was to use IRT to examine the discriminability of PSI-SF items in a sample of parents of young children with ASD who experience varying levels of parental stress. Methods:  The study involved the parents of 141 children with autism spectrum disorders (91.4% mothers; mean age 36.2 years) who completed the PSI-SF following diagnosis. Item characteristic curves were constructed for each of the PSI-SF items and examined with regard to item functioning. Results:  Results indicated that, for the most part, changes in parental distress severity were reflected in changes on item scores. However, several items on the subscales measuring parent–child dysfunctional interactions and child behavior difficulty functioned poorly to discriminate parents across a range of total stress severity. Conclusions:  The parent–child dysfunctional interaction and difficult child subscales of the PSI-SF scale should be used with caution with parents of young children with ASD. More research is required to examine PSI-SF content validity, at least among parents of children with ASD and perhaps parents of children with other disabilities as well.

Disentangling global and domain-level adaptive behavior trajectories among children with autism spectrum disorder / Cristan FARMER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 64-6 (June 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 64-6 (June 2023) . - p.868-875 Titre : Disentangling global and domain-level adaptive behavior trajectories among children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Cristan FARMER, Auteur ; Audrey THURM, Auteur ; Emma CONDY, Auteur ; Eric DUKU, Auteur ; Peter SZATMARI, Auteur ; Teresa BENNETT, Auteur ; Mayada ELSABBAGH, Auteur ; Connor M.

We studied the question of whether, after accounting for global adaptive behavior development, we find evidence of heterogeneity in the trajectories of specific domains of adaptive behavior. Methods A sample of 504 children with ASD was obtained by combining data from two independent natural history studies conducted in North America. We used a factor of curves model to explain growth between 36 and 138?months in Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (VABS) age equivalents as a function of domain-specific and global growth processes. Results The domain-specific trajectories in all three domains (Communication, Daily Living Skills, and Socialization) reflected impairment relative to age expectations as well as slower-than-expected growth with age, and the parameters of these trajectories were moderately-to-strongly correlated across domains. The global adaptive behavior trajectory had an initial (36-41?months of age) developmental level of about 22 age-equivalent months, and eventually slowed after initially increasing by about 6 months each year. The global trajectory accounted for the majority of variance in the domain-level processes; however, additional variance remained (14%-38%) in the domain-level intercepts, slopes, and quadratic processes. Conclusions These results extend existing theoretical and empirical support for the hierarchical structure of adaptive behavior to include its development over time in clinical samples of children with ASD. A latent global trajectory may be sufficient to describe the growth of adaptive behavior in children with ASD; however, the remaining domain-specific variability after accounting for global adaptive behavior development allows for the possibility that differential effects of intervention on specific domains may be possible and detectable.

Examination of Bidirectional Relationships Between Parent Stress and Two Types of Problem Behavior in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Anat ZAIDMAN-ZAIT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-8 (August 2014)

Parent stress was measured with the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form and child behavior was measured with Child Behavior Checklist/1.5–5. Across all time points, parent general distress predicted both types of child behaviors, but not vice versa. In addition, there was modest evidence of a bidirectional relationship between parenting distress and both types of child behaviors from 12 months post-diagnosis to age 6. Results are compared to previous work in this area, with implications for early intervention.

Examining clinical characteristics of autism and links with parent perceptions of sibling relationship quality / Alana J. MCVEY in Autism, 27-2 (February 2023)

Little is known about how the clinical characteristics of autistic children relate to parent perceptions of sibling relationship quality. We drew data from a subsample of 119 children on the autism spectrum, ages 10 “11 years, from an ongoing longitudinal study. Hierarchical multiple regressions tested the extent to which children’s autism symptoms, behavioral difficulties, and communication abilities related to four domains of parent-rated sibling relationship quality. We also examined communication ability as a moderator of the effect of behavioral difficulties on parent-rated sibling relationship quality. More severe autism symptoms were associated with lower levels of conflict and rivalry, whereas higher communication ability was related to more relative status/power, but also conflict. Communication ability moderated the effect of behavioral difficulties such that behavioral difficulties were more closely associated with less warmth/closeness when children had weaker communication skills; behavioral difficulties were not significantly associated with other domains of sibling relationship quality. Findings underscore the importance of considering clinical characteristics and multiple domains of relationship quality to better understand how parents view the relationships between autistic children and their siblings.
