Chinese College Students' Knowledge of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Social Distance from Individuals with ASD: The Mediating Role of Negative Stereotypes / Minghui LU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-8 (August 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-8 (August 2022) . - p.3676-3685 Titre : Chinese College Students' Knowledge of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Social Distance from Individuals with ASD: The Mediating Role of Negative Stereotypes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Minghui LU, Auteur ; Rong WANG, Auteur ; Yuqing ZOU, Auteur ; Feifan PANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3676-3685 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  China  Cross-Sectional Studies  Humans  Students  Surveys and Questionnaires  ASD knowledge  Autism spectrum disorder  Chinese college students  Negative stereotypes  Social distance Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated whether negative stereotypes are responsible for the effect of ASD knowledge on social distance from individuals with ASD among college students. A sample of 869 neurotypical Chinese college students completed a cross-sectional survey to assess social distance, ASD knowledge, and negative stereotypes. Pearson correlation analysis yielded significant correlations between social distance, ASD knowledge, and negative stereotypes. Multiple mediation analysis showed that negative stereotypes mediated the link between social distance and ASD knowledge. Specifically, greater ASD knowledge predicted reduced social distance through decreased stereotyping related to dangerousness, personal responsibility for the disorder, and discontinuity, but also predicted greater social distance through increased stereotyping related to social inappropriateness. The findings deepen our understanding of the association between ASD knowledge and social distance by revealing the mediating role of negative stereotypes, and provide information that can help improve anti-stigma initiatives in college settings.

Method Four hundred and ten mainstream primary school teachers were assessed using the Autism Stigma and Knowledge Questionnaire, the Autism Attitudes Scale for Teachers and a professional self-efficacy scale. Results The results showed that the teachers’ knowledge of ASD was significantly correlated with their attitude and professional self-efficacy regarding children with ASD. Attitude both mediated and moderated the correlation between knowledge and professional self-efficacy. Conclusions The study demonstrated that knowledge and attitude are important indicators of professional self-efficacy. As such, teachers’ professional self-efficacy regarding children with ASD can be improved by improving their knowledge of ASD and attitude toward these children.

Perceived social support and life satisfaction of Chinese parents of children with autism spectrum disorder: Loneliness as a mediator and moderator / Minghui LU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 87 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 87 (September 2021) . - 101829 Titre : Perceived social support and life satisfaction of Chinese parents of children with autism spectrum disorder: Loneliness as a mediator and moderator Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Minghui LU, Auteur ; Rong WANG, Auteur ; Huan LIN, Auteur ; Feifan PANG, Auteur ; Xiaomeng CHEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101829 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Perceived social support  Loneliness  Life satisfaction  Emotional and behavioral problems  Chinese parents of children with ASD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This study investigates the relationships and mechanism between perceived social support, loneliness, and life satisfaction among Chinese parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Method Cross-sectional data were collected from 306 parents of children with ASD, including fathers and mothers, in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, mainland China. A survey comprising the parent-rated Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the UCLA Loneliness Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale was administered. Results Perceived social support was significantly associated with loneliness and life satisfaction. Loneliness both mediated and moderated the relationship between perceived social support and life satisfaction. Conclusions Theoretically, the findings highlight the role of loneliness in explaining the mechanism through which perceived social support is linked to life satisfaction. Practically, this study suggests that high levels of perceived social support and low levels of loneliness are socio-psychological resources that can be targeted to enhance the life satisfaction of Chinese parents of children with ASD.

Self-esteem, social support, and life satisfaction in Chinese parents of children with autism spectrum disorder / Minghui LU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 17 (September 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 17 (September 2015) . - p.70-77 Titre : Self-esteem, social support, and life satisfaction in Chinese parents of children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Minghui LU, Auteur ; Guangxue YANG, Auteur ; Elizabeth SKORA, Auteur ; Guanghai WANG, Auteur ; Yandong CAI, Auteur ; Qingzhou SUN, Auteur ; Wenjie LI, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.70-77 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Self-esteem  Social support  Life satisfaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractPurpose The current study examined self-esteem, social support, and life satisfaction in Chinese parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and observed the mediation effects of social support on the relationship between self-esteem and life satisfaction. Methods We compared 118 Chinese parents of children with ASD to 122 demographic-matched parents of typically developing children on measures of self-esteem, social support, and life satisfaction using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), respectively. Results Parents of children with ASD scored significantly lower on self-esteem, social support, and life satisfaction than the controls (ps < 0.01), and social support partly mediated the relationship between self-esteem and life satisfaction in both groups. Hierarchical regressions indicated that after controlling for demographic variables, social support and self-esteem were significant predictors of life satisfaction in both groups but explained more variance in life satisfaction for the parents of children with ASD. Conclusions Social support and self-esteem play a more important role in life satisfaction for parents of children with ASD than those of typically developing children. Life satisfaction is positively related to higher household income, higher self-esteem, and stronger social support for parents. Self-esteem is likely to be associated with greater life satisfaction by means of greater social support. Future research and interventions should focus on fostering a more positive climate of social support for ASD families in China.
