Correction to: The Association Between Emotional and Behavioral Problems in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Psychological Distress in Their Parents: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Parenting and Psychosocial Development in Youth with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, and Down Syndrome: a Cross-Disability Comparison

“…Although associations between parenting and behavioral child outcomes have been extensively studied in mainstream populations, research on these relations in children with special needs, such as ASD, CP, and DS, is still in its infancy. The last decade has witnessed a growing interest in family dynamics in these groups, yet most studies have focused on the elevated levels of stress in parents of children with disabilities (e.g., Hayes and Watson 2013;Pinquart 2013;Yorke et al 2018) and not on parenting behaviors (Dieleman et al 2017;Maljaars et al 2014;Phillips et al 2017). Moreover, the limited, available empirical research has mostly focused on one specific disability, thereby limiting the possibilities to identify potential disabilityspecific parenting dynamics.…”

“…Third, it could be interesting to further explore the impact of other factors that previously have been shown to regulate or moderate differences in how parenting behavior relates to psychosocial functioning, such as child temperament and personality (De Pauw et al 2011;Mabbe et al 2016), parental personality (Prinzie et al 2009), parental psychological functioning, stress, and support (Taraban and Shaw 2018). Given the elevated levels of parental stress among parents of children with disabilities (e.g., Hayes and Watson 2013;Phillips et al 2017;Pinquart 2013), parental stress might be a particularly important mediator in the relation between parenting and child behavior within these families (Dieleman et al 2018a;Yorke et al 2018). Furthermore, the role of intellectual disability could not be comprehensively addressed in this study, as we primarily relied upon parent reports and not all parents provided IQ information of their child.…”

“…Therefore, an important lingering research question is to what extent these relations between need-supportive and need-frustrating parenting on the one hand and behavioral outcomes on the other generalize across youth growing up with and without disabilities. The past decades witnessed a growing interest in family dynamics in these groups, yet the majority of studies has focused on elevated levels of stress or mental health problems in parents of a child with disability (Hayes and Watson 2013;Yorke et al 2018), and less on specific parenting behaviors. Nevertheless, a budding research discipline started to evaluate the role of parenting in behavioral development in children with disabilities (Dieleman et al 2017;Maljaars et al 2014;Phillips et al 2017).…”

“…The highest risks apply to youth with ASD (e.g., De Pauw et al 2011;Maljaars et al 2014), but research also indicates that youth with CP and DS are at increased risk to develop emotional and behavioral problems (e.g., Dieleman et al 2018b;Vrijmoeth et al 2012). At the same time, research in youth with ASD, CP, as well as DS highlighted large inter-individual variation in the manifestation of these behavioral difficulties (Dieleman et al 2018b;Vrijmoeth et al 2012;Yorke et al 2018).…”

Behavioral Problems and Mother-Child Interaction in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

“…According to the concepts of a child development in the system of their relations with the caregivers (Belsky, 2005), the behavioral features of children, including behavioral disorders, are associated with the specifics of mother-child interaction. Previous studies have shown that emotional and cognitive development, as well as the specific behavior of children with ASD, are related to the characteristics of mother interaction and the quality of child attachment (Baptista et al, 2018;Kahane & El-Tahir, 2015;Levy, Oppenheim, et al, 2019;Teague et al, 2017;Yorke et al, 2018). To assess behavioral disorders in children with ASD, and also as a screening, the CBCL/1½-5 method is used.…”
