Abstract
ⶠParents of children with ADHD. ⶠStress-related growth in 71 parents of children with ADHD, compared with 80 parents of non-clinical children. ⶠContributing variables to personal growth: emotional intelligence (individual characteristics), social support (environmental factors), parental self-efficacy and perceptions of parenting as a challenge vs. a threat (cognitive processing). ⶠEmotional intelligence was the main predictor of stress-related growth, particularly for parents of ADHD children. ⶠSocial support made a greater contribution to growth for the control group than for parents of children with ADHD. ⶠPath analysis indicated that parents' sense of competence and of parenthood as a challenge vs. a threat mediates between emotional intelligence and social support on the one hand, and growth on the other
