Behaviour problems of children with ASD and perceived stress in their caregivers: The moderating role of trait emotional intelligence? / Brian LOVELL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 28 (August 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 28 (August 2016) . - p.1-6 Titre : Behaviour problems of children with ASD and perceived stress in their caregivers: The moderating role of trait emotional intelligence? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Brian LOVELL, Auteur ; Mark A. WETHERELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Behaviour problems  Caregiving  Perceived stress  Trait emotional intelligence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Psychological distress in caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been shown to vary according to characteristics of the care recipient, especially their behaviour problems. Trait emotional intelligence (TEI), which has been linked with subjective reports of distress in familial caregivers, has also been shown to predict behaviour problems in the care recipient. This study is, we believe, first to examine whether TEI might moderate the effect of child behaviour problems (CBP) on caregivers’ psychological functioning. Method A sample of 118 parents of children with clinically verified ASD was asked to complete an online survey assessing: (a) TEI, (b) CBP and (c) perceived stress scores (PSS). The SPSS PROCESS macro (model 1) with bootstrapping was used to determine whether CBP, though its interaction with TEI, might predict caregivers’ PSS. Results Data yielded a direct relationship between CBP and TEI, and caregivers’ PSS; however, no interaction effect was observed. These data reflect the fact that caregivers of children with more behaviour problems are at greater risk for psychological distress, as are caregivers with lower TEI. The relationship between CBP and PSS, however, was not differentially affected by caregivers’ TEI. Conclusions These findings, which implicate lower TEI and greater CBP as risk factors for psychological maladjustment in caregivers of children with ASD, might inform the design and delivery of tailored stress management interventions.

Multilevel approach to gender differences in adaptation in father-mother dyads parenting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Cristina GARCIA-LOPEZ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 28 (August 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 28 (August 2016) . - p.7-16 Titre : Multilevel approach to gender differences in adaptation in father-mother dyads parenting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Cristina GARCIA-LOPEZ, Auteur ; Encarnacion SARRIA, Auteur ; Pilar POZO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.7-16 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism severity  Parental adaptation  Gender  Multilevel modelling Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Most studies of gender differences in the ASD literature present methodological limitations regarding the treatment of dyadic data. This work explored gender differences in the psychological adaptation of a sample of Spanish fathers and mothers of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using a multilevel modeling approach (MLM) that accounts for nested data. Method Questionnaires including different adaptation measures were completed by 120 father-mother dyads raising individuals with ASD. We designed a two-level model (parents nested in dyads) with three predictor variables at level 1 (parent gender, parent age, and perception of child’s behavior problems) and four predictor variables at level 2 (child age, family income, ASD severity, and time since diagnosis) to examine the influence of these variables on negative and positive psychological outcomes (stress, anxiety, depression, and psychological well-being). Results Mothers experienced higher levels of stress and anxiety than fathers, even after controlling for interdependence and sociodemographic factors. ASD severity was a significant predictor of both progenitors’ stress and well-being, and family income was also related to psychological well-being, although no gender differences were observed in the way these variables are related to parental outcomes. Conclusions Professionals should offer parents support to adjust expectations according to their child’s ASD severity given its relationship to parental stress and well-being. Considering that mothers experience higher levels of stress and anxiety than fathers, clinicians should encourage maternal protective factors. Finally, governments should consider new policies aiming to support ASD families’ treatment expenses.

Difficulties predicting time-to-arrival in individuals with autism spectrum disorders / Elizabeth SHEPPARD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 28 (August 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 28 (August 2016) . - p.17-23 Titre : Difficulties predicting time-to-arrival in individuals with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elizabeth SHEPPARD, Auteur ; Editha VAN LOON, Auteur ; Geoffrey UNDERWOOD, Auteur ; Danielle ROPAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.17-23 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Driving  Motion  Prediction impairment  Time-to-arrival Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Previous research suggests people with ASD may have various difficulties in processing and interacting with motion in the environment. We investigated whether individuals with ASD have difficulty judging the location of moving objects in a driving context using a time-to-arrival task. Methods Participants with and without ASD viewed scenes that simulated self-motion towards a junction, while another car approached on a side road. Scenes terminated prior to either car reaching the junction and participants were required to decide which car would reach the junction first. Results Participants with ASD made fewer correct responses although this was only true when self-motion was on a straight road. Conclusions This difficulty in judging the location of moving objects could contribute to difficulties people with ASD experience in learning to drive.
