本研究调查了患有广泛性发育障碍（特别是自闭症）的儿童所表现出的行为与母亲压力水平之间的关系。参与者由 60 名母亲组成，她们的孩子被独立医生使用 DSM-IV 标准诊断为患有广泛性发育障碍。儿童年龄在 2 至 7 岁之间。母亲们完成了以下自我报告测量：育儿压力指数（简表）、异常行为检查表、AAMR 适应性行为量表和人口统计调查问卷。样本中三分之二的参与者的压力分数显着升高。回归分析显示，儿童适应不良行为和儿童适应行为在母亲压力差异中占很大比例。讨论了方法论问题和未来研究的注意事项。
The present study investigated the relationship between behaviours exhibited by children with pervasive developmental disorders, particularly autism, and maternal stress levels. Participants consisted of 60 mothers who had et child diagnosed with a pervasive developmental disorder by an independent practitioner using DSM-IV criteria. Children were between 2 and 7 years of age. Mothers completed the,following self-report measures: the Parenting Stress Index (short-form), the Aberrant Behavior Checklist, AAMR Adaptive Behavior Scales and a demographic questionnaire. Two-thirds of the participants in the sample evidenced stress scores that were significantly elevated. Regression analyses revealed that child maladaptive behaviour and child adaptive behaviour accounted for a significant proportion of the variance in maternal stress. Methodological issues and considerations for,future research are discussed.
