Abstract
This research aimed to investigate resilience and hope as correlates
and predictors of self-efficacy in mothers of children diagnosed with
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Correlational research design was
employed. Using purposive sampling strategy, a sample of 60 mothers
having children with ASD with age range of between 4-12 years was
selected from Children Hospital, Lahore. Three self-reported
questionnaires were used for data collection that includes State Trait
Resilience Inventory (Hiew, Mori, Shimizu, & Tominga, 2000), The
Adult Dispositional Hope Scale (Snyder et al., 1991) and General SelfEfficacy Scale (Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995). Results showed that a
significant positive relationship existed between resilience and hope.
However, resilience and hope didn‟t have any significant relationship
with self-efficacy. Multiple hierarchical regression analysis showed
that self-efficacy was not predicted by resilience and hope. Findings
imply the importance of considering socio-demographic characteristics
of mothers rearing a child with ASD to better understand their sense of
self-efficacy
