Abstract

<p>This study aimed to examine the influence of family resilience and cognitive appraisal on psychological crisis experienced by parents of children with developmental disabilities, using the ABCX model. We administrated a questionnaire or an online survey to 144 parents of children with developmental disabilities. The results showed that higher stressors and appraisal of thread and lower controllability indicated higher psychological stress among parents. It was observed that higher family resilience and controllability indicated higher mental health. Moreover, lower stressors and higher family resilience indicated higher family adaptability. There are no significant association between psychological crisis and the second-order interaction effects of stressors, family resilience, and cognitive appraisal. These results didn’t support the hypothesis that, based on the ABCX model, interactions between stressors, family resilience, and cognitive appraisal can reduce the psychological crisis experienced by parents with developmentally disabled children. The study suggests that low psychological crisis experienced by parents may be influenced by higher family resilience and lower threat to stressors, along with higher commitment and controllability.</p>
