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.
