“…To measure relationship satisfaction, we used the Spanish translation (Magallares et al, 2023) of the Couple Satisfaction Scale (Raffagnino & Matera, 2015). This instrument is composed of two subscales that respectively assess dyadic satisfaction (nine items) and familial satisfaction (five items).…”

Parents tend to experience more stress when their children have intellectual disabilities (ID), and this stress often increases the frequency of family conflicts. Previous research has shown that disability in children negatively impacts marital relationships. The present study analyzes, with reference to the double ABCX model of family adaptation, the association between affiliate stigma (parents' internalization of the stigma borne for their children) as a stressor and the parents' marital satisfaction as an adaptation outcome variable, considering two mediating variables: parents' perceived social support and parents' self-efficacy. The study sample comprises 197 Spanish fathers (31%) and mothers (69%) raising children with ID. Most participants' children had been diagnosed with Down's syndrome (37.1%) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with ID (34%). Our study shows that, as predicted, affiliate stigma is inversely associated with marital satisfaction in parents of children with ID and that perceived social support and self-efficacy play a significant mediational role in this association. These findings may contribute to guiding practitioners and social services on how to enhance protective factors and mitigate risk factors influencing family adaptation. Clinical Impact StatementThis research shows the important impact of affiliate stigma on marital satisfaction of parents who have children with intellectual disabilities. Specifically, it examines whether social support and self-efficacy may serve as protective factors by preventing the negative consequences of parental affiliate stigma on marital satisfaction. Thus, the findings have implications for theory, research, and practice.

This study utilised scale development analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of gamification based on Knowles' andragogical principle in facilitating online learning for adult students. An exploratory sequential mixed-method research design was employed, incorporating interviews and field notes to gather qualitative data for scale construction. The Gamification for Adult Questionnaires (GAQ) scale was developed via questionnaires and analysed quantitatively. The thematic analysis of qualitative interviews revealed 23 sub-themes based on the five main andragogical principles used as a foundation for the quantitative analysis scales. Initially, 47 items were constructed, but five items with low communalities were excluded and an EFA with varimax rotation was performed on the remaining 42 items. The KMO and Bartlett test yielded a satisfactory value of 0.90 Williams et al. (2010). The Chi-square test (Bartlett's method) resulted in a significant sphericity level of p < .01. The EFA results enabled the categorisation of the 42 items into four factors: independent learning (9 items), learning engagement (15 items), knowledge-experience sharing (7 items), and application to real-life situations (11 items). The high alpha coefficient of 0.97 suggests the scale is reliable, and the 42 items account for 81% of the variance. The results indicate that the GAQ scale is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating gamification based on andragogical principles in adult learning settings. This study provides a foundation for future researchers interested in exploring gamification with contemporary teaching methods and technology for adult learners using Knowles' andragogical principles.
