Background Few autism studies have examined the ways that family expressed emotion (EE) and its components, particularly parental criticism, affect and are affected by child emotional and behavior problems over time. As such, the primary purpose of this longitudinal study was to examine the direction of effects between maternal criticism and child problem behaviors to assess whether these relationships are predominately parent-driven, child-driven, or bidirectional. Method Data were collected over three timepoints spanning 4 years from a sample of 114 mothers of children with ASD (initial child age: 7-11 years). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess cross-lagged relations between maternal criticism and five domains of child problem behavior (conduct problems, anxiety/insecurity, hyperactivity, SIB/stereotypy, and withdrawal/isolation). Results In three of the five cross-lagged SEM models tested, findings indicated only significant child-driven effects, with increased child conduct problems, hyperactivity, and self-injury/stereotypy each predicting later increased maternal criticism. One significant parent-driven effect was also observed, with increased maternal criticism predicting later increased child withdrawal/isolation. No cross-lagged relationships between maternal criticism and child anxiety/insecurity were found. Conclusion Study results add to the limited evidence base concerning directionality of parent-child effects in autism family EE research and suggest that maternal criticism may be a more a reaction to, than a cause of, most challenging child behaviors. In addition, differing results by child behavior domain suggest the utility of disaggregating different types of child problem behaviors in these studies. |
