“…As hypothesized by and consistent with prior studies (e.g., Luo et al, 2019), a higher level of PD, PCDI, and DC is related to higher levels of general distress and higher identification with authoritarian and permissive parenting but a lower level of authoritative parenting in Hong Kong. Partially consistent with previous research in Thailand (e.g., Likhitweerawong et al, 2020), higher levels of PD, PCDI, and DC are all related to higher levels of general distress and authoritarian parenting. However, only PCDI was related to less authoritative parenting, and only PCDI and DC were related to higher permissive parenting in Thailand.…”

With increasing attention on the role of parenting stress on family functioning and children’s development, one area that has been neglected is how such relations differ across cultures. Although sometimes viewed as homogeneous, Asian countries often have markedly different belief systems. Cross-cultural studies require instruments that have been validated in different socio-cultural contexts. The widely used parenting stress index-short form (PSI-SF) has been used in several locations. However, results regarding its factorial structure have been mixed. Furthermore, there are only a few cross-cultural comparison studies. This study examined the factorial structure of an abridged version of the PSI-SF with data from Hong Kong (N = 258) and Thailand (N = 190). The results from confirmatory factor analyses indicated that, in both cultures, a three-factorial structure provides the best model fit. Furthermore, we found evidence for partial metric invariance, suggesting that the test scores can be compared directly. Tests for convergent and discriminant validity revealed that the three factors were correlated with parent general distress, authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting behaviors, in both cultures. These findings suggest that the abridged PSI-SF can provide a meaningful comparison of parenting stress between Hong Kong and Thailand.

“…High stress levels among parents of children with ASD result in less engagement in treatment and intervention programs. Likhitweerawong et al (2020) supported these findings by stating that parents with children with ASD experience high stress levels, resulting in less affection and imposing more control than parents with typically developing children. According to Likhitweerawong et al (2020), authoritarian and permissive parenting for children with ASD is associated with parental stress.…”

“…High stress levels among parents of children with ASD negatively affect their parenting styles. Likhitweerawong et al (2020) studied parenting styles among caregivers of children with ASD and concluded that caregivers for children with ASD adopted a more lenient and less strict parenting style than parents with children with ASD. Bozoglan and Kumar (2021) suggested that caregivers of children with ASD become distracted from having to cope with stress, which leaves less room for them to monitor their children"s internet usage.…”

Parenting is a complex task that comprises many behaviors and interactions between parents and their children. Parenting children with disabilities, specifically children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), was found to put more pressure on those parents than parents of typically developing children. This study aimed to assess the similarities and differences in the internet parenting styles of Saudi parents of children with and without ASD, respectively. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study that utilized a survey questionnaire, the internet Parenting Style Instrument, which was distributed electronically. A total of 222 parents participated, of whom 126 were parents of typically developing children and 96 were parents of children with ASD. The results showed a significant difference in internet parenting styles between parents of children with ASD and those of children without ASD. Both types of parents were found to express high levels of parental control and warmth; however, those with children with ASD exhibit higher levels than others. Parental warmth was found to be associated with parental age, parents" gender, and parental education level. Parental control was found to be significantly associated with parents" gender and the parental middle-aged group. These outcomes could lead to future research interventions that help protect children with ASD online.

Background: The goal of this research was to find out what factors were associated with these parenting effects in Pakistani mothers and dads who had children with intellectual disability (ID) or autism spectrum disorders (ASD) A total of 191 parents agreed to take part in the study, 100 of whom had a child with ADS and 91 of whom had a child with ID. Each participant filled out standardized parenting stress scale rating scales and provided demographic data during the interview. Families who have children with Autism and ID have higher emotional state, according to structural equation modelling. Objective: To find out parental stress of Pakistani families with children who have developmental disabilities. Methodology: The cross-sectional study was conducted through five different organizations in Lahore, Pakistan (Bases, Rising sun, Dimensions, Autism resource center, Oasis) and from two hospitals (Mayo Hospital Lahore and Sheikh Zaid Hospital). Standardized questionnaire (Parental stress scale) was used. Data was collected through standardized questionnaire after taking inform consent and distributed among the parents with children that have special needs (ASD and ID) Parents were asked to complete a questionnaire. Result scores were recorded for every respondent. The data was analyzed by “Statistical Package for Social Sciences” SPSS (version 22.0). Results: Using a standardized questionnaire, it was shown that the emotional well-being of families with children with ASD and ID was much worse, with both mothers and fathers reporting emotional exhaustion. Stress was exacerbated by a lack of emotional well-being. ASD parents show high percentage of 72.2% and ID parents show highest percentage of 61.1% so according to the given standardized questionnaire points the higher the percentage the higher the stress level. While raising a kid with neurological disabilities has a roughly comparable effect on Pakistani families as it does on parents in other countries, there are evidence that children with ASD and ID provide particular challenges to these families. Conclusion: Parents of both children face higher stress level. High level of parent stress needs timely counselling of the parents about the circumstances that they need to be encountered with having an abnormal child. They shall be aware with the techniques to deviate their mind from the most recurring point of stress.
