积极心理资本对孤独症谱系障碍儿童家长生活满意度的影响：社会支持的中介作用

The Impact of Positive Psychological Capital on Life Satisfaction of Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Mediating Effect of Social Support

摘要: 近年来，随着孤独症谱系障碍(Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD)患病率的逐年攀升，父母作为儿童的主要照料者，其身心健康日益成为研究者的关注热点。本研究聚焦于ASD儿童家长群体，采用随机抽样的方法，选用《积极心理资本量表》《生活满意度量表》《社会支持量表》作为测量工具，对525名ASD儿童家长进行问卷调查，所得结果如下：ASD儿童家长在积极心理资本、生活满意度、社会支持上的得分普遍不高，均处于中等偏低范围；上述变量在家庭总收入、家长受教育程度等人口学变量上均表现出显著的组间差异。积极心理资本与社会支持、生活满意度之间均呈显著正相关。结论如下：一方面积极心理资本可以直接影响ASD儿童家长的生活满意度；另一方面可以通过社会支持的中介作用影响其生活满意度。

Abstract: In recent years, with the increasing prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the physical and mental health of parents, as the primary caregivers of children, has increasingly become a focus of researchers’ attention. This study focuses on the group of parents of children with ASD, using random sampling and selecting the “Positive Psychological Capital Scale”, “Life Satisfaction Scale”, and “Social Support Scale” as measurement tools. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 525 parents of children with ASD, and the results are as follows: Parents of children with ASD generally score low on positive psychological capital, life satisfaction, and social support, all falling within the moderately low range; significant inter-group differences in these variables were observed across demographic variables such as the total household income, and parental education level. There was a significant positive correlation between positive psychological capital and both social support and life satisfaction. The conclusions are as follows: On the one hand, positive psychological capital can directly affect the life satisfaction of parents of children with ASD; on the other hand, it can affect their life satisfaction through the mediating effect of social support.
