Abstract

The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine Self-Efficacy and Alexithymia as moderators between perceived social support and Stress among parents of children with Learning Disabilities. The convenience sample of the study consisted of 98 parents of children with Learning Disabilities from Ahwaz (Iran). This descriptive correlational study was conducted in 2014–15. Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GCE), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were completed by parents. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were used to examine the moderating role of Self-Efficacy and Alexithymia. The results revealed that Self-Efficacy and Alexithymia were moderators in the relationship between Perceived social support and Stress. The findings supported the hypothesis that higher levels of self-efficacy (see: Figure 1) would be associated with lower levels of Stress, and that lower levels of Alexithymia (see: Figure 2) would be associated with lower levels of Stress.

学习障碍儿童父母自我效能感和述情障碍作为社会支持感与压力的调节因子

这项横断面研究的目的是检验学习障碍儿童父母的自我效能感和述情障碍作为感知社会支持和压力之间的调节因素。该研究的方便样本包括来自Ahwaz（伊朗）的98名学习障碍儿童的父母。这项描述性相关研究于2014-2015年进行。由家长填写多维感知社会支持量表（MSPSS）、一般自我效能感量表（GCE）、多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS-20）和感知压力量表（PSS）。采用层次线性回归分析来检验自我效能感和述情障碍的调节作用。结果表明，自我效能感和述情障碍是感知社会支持与压力关系的调节因子。研究结果支持了这样一种假设，即较高水平的自我效能感（见图1）与较低水平的压力有关，而较低程度的Alexithymia（见图2）则与较低的压力有关。
