Titre : Brief Report: The Development of Compliance in Toddlers at-Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Naomi V. EKAS, Auteur ; Nicole M. MCDONALD, Auteur ; Megan M. PRUITT, Auteur ; Daniel S. MESSINGER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1239-1248 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Longitudinal Infant siblings Compliance Restricted and repetitive behaviors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report concerns with child compliance. The development of compliance in 24-, 30-, and 36-month-old high-risk children with ASD outcomes (n?=?21), high-risk children without ASD (n?=?49), and low-risk children (n?=?41) was examined. The High-Risk/ASD group showed greater passive noncompliance at 24-months than the non-ASD groups and a smaller increase in compliance than the High-Risk/No ASD group. The High-Risk/ASD group also showed a smaller decline in active noncompliance than the Low-Risk group. After controlling for receptive language, the passive noncompliance findings were nonsignificant whereas compliance and active noncompliance findings retained significance. The growth of compliance is attenuated in children with ASD, while changes in passive noncompliance are in part associated with language comprehension.

Titre : Hope, social relations, and depressive symptoms in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Naomi V. EKAS, Auteur ; Megan M. PRUITT, Auteur ; Erin MCKAY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.8-18 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Mothers Hope Loneliness Depression Positive psychology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Raising a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may negatively impact maternal mental health outcomes. Feelings of loneliness and a lack of social support may contribute to these outcomes. One factor that may help to promote better outcomes is hope. The current study examined the associations between maternal hope, loneliness, social support, and depressive symptoms. Method Ninety-four mothers of a child with ASD participated in this online study. Mothers were predominantly Caucasian, middle class, and educated. Children ranged in age from 2 to 13 years. Mothers completed questionnaires assessing hope, loneliness, perceived social support from friends and family, and depressive symptoms. Results The results of a multiple mediator model indicated that hope agency was indirectly associated with depressive symptoms via loneliness. In a follow-up serial mediation model, hope agency was associated with depressive symptoms through family support and loneliness. Conclusions The present study contributes to the growing body of research focusing on positive personality characteristics and mental health outcomes in mothers of children with ASD. Given that increased hopeful thinking was associated with less loneliness, the construct of hope should be given more attention in interventions that are aimed at improving maternal outcomes. Increasing hopeful thinking may be particularly important in aiding with improvement during psychotherapy for mothers with clinical levels of depressive symptoms.

WILLIS, Auteur ; Megan M. PRUITT, Auteur ; Naomi V. EKAS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2573-2586 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Mothers Relationship quality Daily diaries Depressive symptoms Family functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 70) completed online measures of global constructs (i.e., stable individual characteristics measured at time 1), which included resilience, depressive symptoms, and family functioning, followed by 14 daily questionnaires assessing relationship quality and affect on a given day. The global constructs were examined as predictors of daily relationship quality using multilevel modeling. Daily affect was examined in association with daily relationship factors (partner conflict, support from partner, and relationship happiness). Depressive symptoms and family flexibility predicted daily relationship quality. On a daily level, affect was associated with relationship quality. Results emphasize the potential of interventions to improve the quality of parents’ relationships by addressing maternal mental health, family functioning, and daily affect.
