Although numerous studies have demonstrated that social support affects a range of life experiences, few have examined its moderating and mediating effects. In the current study, 479 Chinese parents of children with ASD (aged 3-18 years) completed the surveys assessing parenting stress, social support and life satisfaction. Results indicated that parenting stress, social support and life satisfaction were significantly related. Moreover, social support both mediated and moderated the influence of parenting stress on life satisfaction. These findings imply that parenting stress and social support are critical indicators of life satisfaction and can serve as basic intervention strategies that promote life satisfaction among Chinese parents of children with ASD.
尽管许多研究表明社会支持会影响一系列生活经历，但很少有研究检验其调节和中介作用。在本研究中，479 名自闭症儿童的中国父母（年龄 3-18 岁）完成了评估育儿压力、社会支持和生活满意度的调查。结果表明，育儿压力、社会支持和生活满意度之间存在显著关系。此外，社会支持既调节又中介了育儿压力对生活满意度的影响。这些发现表明，育儿压力和社会支持是生活满意度的关键指标，可以作为促进自闭症儿童中国父母生活满意度的基本干预策略。
