Parenting stress, salivary biomarkers, and ambulatory blood pressure in mothers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

The Impact of Applicants’ Weight and Education About Obesity on Applicant Ratings

“…Another important finding in our study was that NEFC significantly and positively predicted depres sion, anxiety, and stress. The positive relationship between NEFC and distress supports previous research regarding the relationship between selfblame (a component of NEFC) and psychologi cal distress (Foody et al, 2014;Keeling et al, 2013;Martin & Dahlen, 2005;Xu et al, 2013). Likewise, our findings confirm previous work that found associations between venting (a component of NEFC) and depression, anxiety, and stress (Keeling et al, 2013;Klostermann et al, 2011;Liverant et al, 2004;TellesCorreia et al, 2011;Wang, Lambert, & Lambert, 2007).…”

“…Addressing the link between aspects of NEFC and psychopathology, researchers have found that selfblame predicts depression, anxiety, and stress among diverse populations (Foody, James, & Leader, 2014;Xu et al, 2013), including college students (Martin & Dahlen, 2005). Likewise, vent ing has predicted depressive and anxiety symptoms in undergraduates (Klostermann et al, 2011;Liverant, Hofmann, & Litz, 2004).…”

Risk and Protective Factors in the Lives of Caregivers of Persons With Autism: Caregivers’ Perspectives

“…Research has shown that caregivers of children with ASD experience poorer health and an increase in reported stress, anxiety, depression, and physical health problems than parents of children with typical development (Bekhet, ; Estes et al., ; Huang et al., ; Lovell, Moss, & Wetherell, 2012a). Foody, James, and Leader () found a dysregulation in cortisol levels in mothers of children with ASD (Foody et al., ). Similarly, Lovell et al.…”

Physiological Correlates of Maternal Responsivity in Mothers of Preschoolers With Fragile X Syndrome

“…Studies examining the relationship between parental stress and parenting behavior increasingly recognize the contribution of biomarkers to the understanding of this complex relationship (Foody, James, & Leader, 2014; Hartley et al, 2012). Salivary cortisol is reflective of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) system and is a physiological marker of stress.…”
