背景-本研究的目的是描述母亲的自我效能感的信念在养育领域和母亲的评级学前儿童的语言能力，儿童有沟通障碍。这两个结构之间的关联也investigated.Method二十五个母亲完成了一份问卷，包括两个小节：父母的自我效能和母亲的儿童语言能力的评级。方便抽样，母亲与孩子参加四个特殊教育学校在比勒陀利亚地区同意参加研究。结果显示，母亲一般有很高的自我效能感的信念在某些养育角色，尽管事实上，他们的孩子有沟通障碍。最低的能力是在纪律和教学作用。此外，母亲对儿童能力模式的报告与文献中所写的内容相关。相关性统计一般显示弱关联的结构之间，最强的关联与父母的纪律领域和母亲的报告，他们的孩子的接受性language capabilities.Conclusions弱相关值的可能原因提出。这些因素可能会改变残疾儿童的父母构建和维持自我效能信念的方式;以及调查问卷的两个部分在两个非常不同的层面（客观观察和评价性自我调节过程）衡量母亲评价的事实。
Background The aim of this study was to describe maternal self-efficacy beliefs within the parenting domain and maternal ratings of pre-school children's language abilities, where the child has a communication disability. The association between these two constructs was also investigated.Method Twenty-five mothers completed a questionnaire consisting of two subsections: parental self-efficacy and maternal rating of child language ability. Convenience sampling was used, and mothers with children attending four special-education schools in the Pretoria area consented to participate in the study.Results The results revealed that mothers generally had high self-efficacy beliefs within certain parenting roles, in spite of the fact that their child has a communication disability. The lowest competence was reported in discipline and teaching roles. In addition, mothers' reports of patterns of child ability correlated with what has been written in the literature. Correlation statistics generally revealed weak association between the constructs, with the strongest association between the parental domain of discipline and maternal reports of their child's receptive language abilities.Conclusions Possible reasons for the weak correlation values are proposed. These include factors that may alter the way parents of children with disabilities construct and maintain self-efficacy beliefs; as well as the fact that the two sections of the questionnaire measure maternal appraisals at two very different levels (objective observations and evaluative self-regulatory processes).
