Mastery Motivation and Maternal Stress in Typically Developing Children and Children With Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Key Points

• This research aims to understand how maternal stress influences child motivation in both typically developing children and those with neurodevelopmental disorders.
• Comparative analysis of child persistence and perceived competence in different developmental groups.
• Assessment of maternal stress levels and their correlation with child motivation.
• Evaluation of intervention strategies focusing on parenting and child motivation.
• Higher maternal stress correlates with lower persistence and perceived competence in children.
• Children with neurodevelopmental disorders exhibit more significant impacts from maternal stress than typically developing children.
• Interventions targeting both child motivation and parental stress are recommended.
