Using a cross-lagged panel design, we investigated the impact of positive family processes on change in autism symptoms and behaviors. A sample of 149 co-residing mothers and their adolescent or adult child with autism was drawn from a large, longitudinal study. Maternal warmth and praise were measured using coded speech samples in which mothers talked about their son or daughter. A high level of relationship quality was associated with subsequent reductions in internalizing and externalizing problems as well as reductions in impairments in social reciprocity and repetitive behaviors. Maternal warmth and praise were also related to symptom abatement in the repetitive behaviors domain.
我们采用交叉滞后面板设计,研究了积极的家庭互动过程对自闭症症状和行为变化的影响。我们从一项大型纵向研究中抽取了149对共同居住的母亲及其患有自闭症的青少年或成年子女作为样本。通过对母亲谈论其子女的言语样本进行编码来衡量母亲的温暖和赞扬程度。高水平的关系质量与内化和外化问题的减少以及社交互动和重复行为障碍的减轻相关。母亲的温暖和赞扬也与重复行为领域的症状减轻有关。
