Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Self-Discrepancy Theory

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects

Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...

Area of Science:

Psychology
Developmental Psychology
Clinical Psychology

Context:

Parenting children with developmental disorders presents unique challenges.
Mothers of children with developmental disorders experience significant stressors.
Existing measures may not fully capture the nuances of this parental stress.

Purpose:

To develop and validate the Developmental Disorder Parenting Stressor Index (DDPSI).
To identify key factors contributing to parenting stress in developmental disorders.
To examine the relationship between parental stress, social support, and psychological well-being.

Summary:

The DDPSI was developed from a survey of 255 mothers of children with developmental disorders.
Factor analysis revealed four core stressors: understanding/coping, future anxiety, disorder misunderstanding, and emotional conflict.
The DDPSI demonstrated high internal consistency and concurrent validity with established stress scales.

Impact:

The DDPSI is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring parenting stressors in developmental disorders.
Findings highlight the crucial role of social support in mitigating parental stress.
This research can inform interventions aimed at supporting parents of children with developmental disorders.
