Abstract

The current research aims at investigating the relationship between dimensions of self-regulation and psychological flexibility. The study sample consisted of (80) participants from parents and mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder. Their ages ranged between (25-60 years), and they were administered to a measure of the dimensions of self-regulation which was applied to them. This scale was prepared by the researcher, and a measure of psychological flexibility was also applied to them. This scale was prepared by Suhair Kamel El-Touny (2017).The results indicated that there is a relationship between dimensions of self-regulation and psychological flexibility among parents and mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder. In addition, the findings indicated that there is no difference between dimensions of self-regulation and psychological flexibility among parents and mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder depending on (age, gender, marital status, educational level, and economic level). Moreover, psychological flexibility can also be predicted through dimensions of self-regulation among parents and mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder.
