Background:We aimed to investigate the association between demographic and familial characteristics and psychological properties of adolescents including identity style, spiritual intelligence (SI), perceived parenting style (PPS), family functioning, and mental health.Materials and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, high school students aged 15–18 years were enrolled. Demographic characteristics of each student and their parents were recorded. Psychological properties of the students including PPS questionnaire, family assessment device, identity status, mental health status, and SI were assessed. The association between demographic and familial characteristics and psychological properties of adolescents was determined using Multiple Indicators and Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model.Results:In this study, 279 high school students (140 boys and 139 girls) were enrolled. The most common forms of identity style were diffusion and foreclosure with a prevalence rate of 49.1% and 39.5%, respectively. Results of MIMIC model showed acceptable fit with comparative fit index = 0.91, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.87, and root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.05 (0.04–0.06). There was a significant positive association between age and family functioning (P = 0.001). There was a significant positive association between age and mental health (P = 0.003). There was a significant negative association between gender and PPS (P < 0.001). The most common forms of PPS in females and males were authoritative form and uninvolved parenting, respectively. There was a significant positive association between father education and PPS (P = 0.001).Conclusion:Our findings indicated that there is an association between families’ demographic characteristics and identity style, perceived parental style, family functioning, and SI of adolescence. The association of some factors with mentioned psychological variables is more prominent such as age, gender, and father age.

“…Moreover, their depression scores were also significantly higher than those of mothers whose children had other developmental disabilities (14). Indeed, mothers bringing up children with autism reported poorer mental health in general (9,15) and those whose children exhibited higher levels of behavioral problems experienced significant psychological distress (16). The emotional well-being of fathers has received less consideration with no differences reported between parents of toddlers(11), whereas studies reported that mothers were significantly more depressed than fathers.…”

“…Family has always been considered as an institution to play a significant role in children's physical and psychological well-being. In fact, families are responsible for educating their children, developing a healthy style of communication among family members, and assisting children to gain independence (Kiani, Hojatkhah, & Torabi-Nami, 2016).…”

“Meaning in life” is known to be a pivotal factor in psychological well-being. The aim of this research was to compare the psychological well-being of mothers with autistic, blind, or normal-functioning children. This causal-comparative investigation recruited mothers of autistic, blind, or normal-functioning 6- to 15-year-old children in Shiraz, Iran, between January 2013 and January 2014. The study sample comprised 210 mothers of whom 140 had autistic or blind children while others were mothers of normal-functioning kids. Subjects were randomly selected through a multistage cluster sampling method. The Ryff Scale for Psychological Well-Being was employed to obtain data. Further to the descriptive analyses, 1-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey’s test were used to address research questions. The mean scores for psychological well-being, as well as the related subscales, indicated more appropriate performance in mothers of autistic children as compared with other 2 groups. Moreover, the mean overall psychological well-being score of mothers with blind children suggested a better performance than those who had normal-functioning kids. Meanwhile, differences in subscales were statistically significant only between the mothers of autistic and normal-functioning children. The importance of psychological well-being and its significant role in the life of mothers of disabled children necessitates planning on relevant reinforcement and supportive programs.
