标题:Structural Relation between the Stressor, Perceived Stress, Supportive Resources, and Compatibility of Mothers of Children with Intellectual Disabilities: The Mediating Role of Coping Styles Based on the Double ABCX Model
摘要:The present study aims at evaluating compatibility of mothers of children with intellectual disabilities based on the Double ABCX Model. According to this multivariate model, the relationship between compatibility of mothers of children with behavioral problems, the mothers’ supportive resources and perceived stress with the mediating role of coping styles has been investigated. The research statistical population included mothers of intellectually disabled children, of whom 260 were selected as participants. Data were collected through the Rutter Child Behavior Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS), Family Resources (FRS), The Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WOCQ), and Psychological Well-Being Scale. The parameters and path coefficients were estimated using SEM and exponential maximum estimation method. The results of the research showed that the model used in the research is well fitted with experimental data. The research findings indicated that the model used in the research has acceptable goodness of fit with experimental data. In addition, the study of path coefficients shows that family resources have a direct and significant effect on perceived stress and psychological well-being of mothers and coping styles have a mediating role in the relationship between stressor, perceived stress and psychological well-being. The results of this study identifies the Double ABCX Model as a multi-dimensional model in explaining and understanding the compatibility of mothers of children with intellectual disabilities. The results also provide useful guidelines for interventions.
