Considering the specific characteristics of autism spectrum disorder, parents and especially mothers are under a lot of pressure and it is important to identify factors that help reduce this pressure. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the structural relationships of fathers' involvement and mothers' parenting stress with the mediating role of family functioning, resilience and social support in mothers of autistic children. Research method has been descriptive-correlation type and structural equation model was used. From among the autism schools in Tehran, 4 schools were randomly selected and 276 volunteer mothers participated in the research and were asked to use the Phetrusuwan & Miles's Parenting Stress Scale: Autism (2009), Olson et al. 's Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (1985), Conner and Davidson's Resilience Scale (2003), Zimmet et al.'s Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (1988), and Fathers' Involvement Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Smart PLS 3.2 software. The results indicated that fathers' participation and resilience have a direct negative effect on mothers' parenting stress. In addition, fathers' participation has an indirect effect on mothers' parenting stress through the mediation of family functioning (p < 0.05). a significant relationship was also observed between family functioning and mothers' resilience. According to the obtained results, it seems that fathers' participation as an external factor and resilience as an internal factor play a role in predicting parenting stress (p < 0.05). Also, the adaptive functioning of the family can strengthen the role of fathers' participation in reducing mothers' stress. The results can be used in predicting parenting stress of mothers of autistic children.

Theories and empirical studies on the development of BPD posit that adverse family context, in which dysfunctional parenting is obvious, is associated with symptoms of BPD. Most studies in this area have been focused on retrospective reports of BPD patients about their childhood environment. Due to limitations of this type of studies and the lack of in-depth study on the family environment of these individuals, the present study was conducted to discover and describe parenting in families with offspring suffering from BPD. A qualitative study design using a content analysis approach was used to gather and analyze data. A Purposive sample of family members of BPD patients was made. Data were collected by conducting fifteen in-depth unstructured interviews. The recorded interviews were transcribed and data analysis was done by coding and categorizing strategies. After data analysis, "Destructive pattern of parenting" was extracted as the main theme. This theme includes 6 categories: "Physical and emotional maltreatment of children", "Over strict control", "Lack of parental care", "Instability in dealing with children", "Child-centered treatment" and "Prevention of children's autonomy". The results indicated that the dominant behavioral patterns of parents of these people have been inappropriate and destructive. This shows the link between destructive parenting and BPD in offspring. The results emphasize the role of parental behavioral and interactive patterns in the emergence of BPD traits and highlight the presence of traumatic characteristics in these patients' families.

Abstract :Interactions between family members in childhood, especially the parent-child relationship, affects how individuals behave in interpersonal relationships in adulthood. The aim of the present study was to examine the mediating role of interpersonal problems in the relationship between parenting styles and marital problems. A total of 249 volunteers (93 men, 156 women) from Tehran family courts participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-30), and Golombok Rust Inventory of Marital State (GRIMS). Authoritative parenting style showed a significant negative association with marital problems while authoritarian parenting style was significantly in positive association with marital problems. Permissive parenting style showed a negative association with marital problems; however it was not statistically significant. Interpersonal problems also showed a significant positive association with marital problems. Analysis of the data revealed that interpersonal problems mediated the relationship between parenting styles and marital problems. Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that some kind of parenting styles might develop interpersonal problems. Marital problems and couples’ dissatisfaction could be consequences of such problems in the later stages of life.

One of the long-term consequences of the parenting styles is the effect it has on the marital satisfaction of the children. An association between the basic psychological need satisfaction with parenting styles and marital satisfaction of the children has been approved. The aim of the present study was to examine the moderating role of basic psychological need satisfaction on the relationship between parenting styles and children's marital satisfaction. Two hundred and seventeen (123 women and 94 men) married participants completed Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale (BNSG-S), and the Golombok Rust Inventory of Marital State (GRIMS). The results indicated that the authoritative and permissive parenting styles had a positive significant association with marital satisfaction of their children, whereas the authoritarian style used by parents had a negative significant association with their offspring's marital satisfaction. The results also revealed that the authoritative parenting style had a positive significant relationship with the basic need satisfaction, whereas the mothers' authoritarian style had a negative significant relationship with the basic need satisfaction. No significant relationship was found between the fathers' authoritarian style and the permissive parenting style with the basic needs satisfaction. The results also revealed that the basic psychological need satisfaction moderated the relationship between the mothers' permissive style and their offspring's marital satisfaction. According to the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that the levels of children’s marital satisfaction are possibly influenced by their basic psychological need satisfaction as well as the parenting styles.
