  • ABSTRACT AHERN, LISA SENATORE. Psychometric
    ABSTRACT AHERN, LISA SENATORE. Psychometric Properties of the Parenting Stress Index – Short Form. (Under the direction of Mary Haskett.) Psychometric properties of the Parenting Stress Index – Short Form were investigated using a heterogeneous sample of 185 mothers and fathers of children between the ages of 4- 10 years. The Difficult Child and Parent Distress subscales, as well as Total PSI-SF, were found to be internally consistent. Confirmatory factor analysis did not reveal support for a three-factor model. Results were mixed in terms of support for convergent and discriminant validity. The PSI-SF Total and subscales were related to measures of parent psychopathology and perceptions of child adjustment, but not to observed parent and child behavior. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

    University of Nevada, Reno Parent Stress and ASD Severity: A Re-Examination A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Psychology by Kimberly J. Loudermilk Dr. Patrick M. Ghezzi/Thesis Advisor May, 2021 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by Kimberly Loudermilk entitled Parent Stress and ASD Severity: A Re-examination be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Patrick M. Ghezzi Ph. D Advisor Matthew Lewon Ph. D Co mmittee Member Maryann Demchak Ph. D Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean Graduate School May 2021 i Abstract The purpose of the present research was to investigate the relationship between ASD severity, as assessed by GARS, and parent stress, as assessed by the PSI and the PSI Parent Domain subscales in particular. Studies suggest that parent stress rises to the severity of a young child’s ASD for reasons related to the challenges of parenting and managing severe autistic behavior compared to moderate or mild levels. The participants were parents seeking Early Intensive Behavior Intervention (EIBI) services from a university-based program between 1996 and 2018. A total of 46 mothers and fathers (23 mothers, 23 fathers) and their respective 23 children participated. The present results suggest that a young child with mild ASD ma enable his parents the luxury of spending less time, effort and worry about managing behavior, leaving more time to spend instead on either their own well-being, and/or learning how to manage their child’s behavior more effectively.
