摘要
目的 混乱的家庭环境以杂乱无章、嘈杂和缺乏规律为特征,与语言发展、社交能力和执行功能有负面关联。本研究旨在调查混乱的家庭环境对自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的适应行为(即能够独立发挥作用的行为)的中介作用。患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童在适应环境方面存在困难,确定可能会加剧这些行为的家庭因素将有助于了解可能会影响行为的更大的家庭动态。这表明 ASD 儿童比 NT 儿童经历了更多的家庭混乱,从而影响了他们较低的适应行为得分。
Home organization and adaptive behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder
Purpose
A chaotic home environment, marked by disorganization, noise and a lack of routine, has negative associations with language development, social competence and executive functioning. This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of chaotic homes on adaptive behaviors, or behaviors that allow independent functioning, in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to neurotypical (NT) children. Children with ASD have difficulties with adaptive functioning in their environment, and identifying factors in the home that may exacerbate these behaviors will help in understanding the larger family dynamics that may affect behavior.
Design/methodology/approach
In total, 251 primary caregivers completed questionnaires about their children’s adaptive behavior and the structure of the home environment.
Findings
The results of a mediation analysis found a significant indirect effect of ASD status leading to lower adaptive behaviors through home chaos. This suggests those with ASD experienced more household chaos than NT children, which influenced their lower adaptive behavior scores.
Originality/value
This research provides insights into the complex relationship between the home environment and child behavior in children with ASD.
