Hierarchical Regression Analysis of Parent–Child Anxiety Discrepancy Score as a Function of ASD Severity in the ASD Combined Group (ASD + Anxiety plus ASD, n = 52)
Variable | R2 | β | ΔF |
---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | 0.01 | 0.23 | |
Age | 0.05 | ||
Gender | 0.10 | ||
IQ | −0.03 | ||
Step 2 | 0.16 | 3.90* | |
ADI-R B | 0.29 | ||
ADI-R C | 0.21 |
Note. ADI-R, Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised. ADI-R subscales: B—Qualitative abnormalities in communication; C—Restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Parent–child discrepancy score = standardized parent MASC-2 Total Anxiety T-score – standardized child MASC-2 Total Anxiety T-score.
P < 0.05.
