These behaviors are likely to affect parents' psychological functioning. There were very few studies that examine the impact of these characteristic behaviors on parents. </p><p>The purpose of this descriptive study was to analyze the relationship between the severity of behaviors (Developmental Behavior Checklist) and parental self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory-II), marital satisfaction (Quality of Marriage Index) and coping strategies (Coping Strategies Inventory Short-Form). Additionally, two conceptual models, mediation and moderation, were tested to examine which model best describes this relationship. </p><p>Analysis supported the mediator effect of coping strategies of parents on the association of child behaviors to parental self-esteem and depressive symptoms. Initiating interventions to assist parents to improve coping strategies, may improve parental psychological functioning for families caring for a child with a genetic condition.</p> 2010 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1252073810 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1252073810 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
