Contextual determinants of parental reflective functioning: Children with autism versus their typically developing siblings. Autism : the international journal of research and practice Enav, Y., Erhard-Weiss, D., Goldenberg, A., Knudston, M., Hardan, A. Y., Gross, J. J. 2020: 1362361320908096

Abstract

LAY ABSTRACT: In this study, we examined parental reflective functioning using the Parental Developmental Interview when parents were talking about their interactions with their child with autism versus the child's typically developing siblings. Our sample included 30 parents who had a child between the ages of 3 and 18years with a clinical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and at least one typically developing child. Findings indicated that parents exhibited significantly higher reflective functioning when interacting with their child with autism spectrum disorder versus the typically developing siblings, and the difference was moderated by parental self-efficacy.
