Prédire les symptômes d'internalisation et d'extériorisation chez les enfants avec un diagnostic de TSA: Évaluation d'un modèle contextuel des facteurs parentaux

Aperçu: G.M.

L'ajustement parental, les comportements parentaux et les routines de l'enfant ont été liés au comportement internalisé ou externalisé de l'enfant avec un "diagnostic de trouble du spectre de l'autisme" (dTSA). 

Le but de la présente étude était d'évaluer un modèle complet examinant les relations entre ces variables chez les enfants avec dTSA et leurs parents.  

Les résultats ont indiqué que l'ajustement parental prédisait une parentalité difficile / désengagée (B = 0,17, p <0,01) et un comportement d'internalisation (B = 0,32, p <0,01). La parenté difficile / désengagée et la parentalité chaleureuse / de soutien ont prédit respectivement un comportement d'extériorisation (B = 0,59, p <0,01) et un comportement d'internalisation (B = - 0,49 p <0,01).

Abstract

Parental adjustment, parenting behaviors, and child routines have been linked to internalizing and externalizing child behavior. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate a comprehensive model examining relations among these variables in children with ASD and their parents. Based on Sameroff's Transactional Model of Development (Sameroff in: The transactional model of development: How children and contexts shape each other, American Psychological Association, Washington, DC, 2009), researchers hypothesized that these factors would collectively predict child behavior. Parents (n = 67) completed measures of parental adjustment, parenting behaviors, child routines, and child behavior using the Hopkins Symptom Checklist, Alabama Parenting Questionnaire, Child Routines Inventory, and Child Behavior Checklist, respectively. Results indicated that parental adjustment predicted harsh/disengaged parenting (B = 0.17, p < .01) and internalizing behavior (B = 0.32, p < .01). Harsh/disengaged parenting and warm/supportive parenting predicted externalizing behavior (B = 0.59, p < .01) and internalizing behavior (B = - 0.49 p < .01), respectively.
