The research was conducted by questionnaires including Social Support scale, Parental Resilience Questionnaire, and Parenting Stress scale. Data was collected from 261 individuals of economic disadvantaged families identified by social welfare association. They are native parents with children of school age in Taipei City and Taipei County.
Results indicated that participant’s gender, age and the numbers of children did not have significant difference on parenting stress, but family types did have significant difference. Single parent family had higher parenting stress than extended or stem family. Besides, work status of parents showed difference on different domains of parenting stress. Parents of part-time job or temporary worker had higher parenting stress in self-ability or resource and child healthy development than parents of full-time job.
The correlations indicated that emotional support was negatively related to four domains of parenting stress. Instrumental support and parental resilience were both negatively related to domains of parenting stress including self-ability or resource, external environment, and child behavior problem.
Hierarchical regression indicated that backgrounds, social support and parental resilience significantly predict self-ability or resource, external environment, and child behavior problem of parenting stress. Besides, parental resilience significantly and negatively predicted self-ability or resource domain of parenting stress. Emotional support significantly and negatively predicted child behavior problem domain of parenting stress. The interaction of parental resilience and emotional support significantly and negatively predicted parenting stress.
