Affiliate Stigma, Perceived Social Support and Parenting Stress Among Parents of Children and Adolescents With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeParents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience heightened levels of parenting stress. Although previous studies have established associations between affiliate stigma, perceived social support, and parenting stress, the potential mediating role of perceived social support in this relationship remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the relationships among affiliate stigma, perceived social support, and parenting stress, and to explore whether perceived social support mediates the relationship between affiliate stigma and parenting stress in parents of children and adolescents with ADHD.
methodsA cross-sectional design was used. A total of 376 parents completed the 22-item Affiliate Stigma Scale (ASS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF). Structural equation modeling and bootstrapping procedures using IBM SPSS Amos 26.0 were conducted to test the hypothesized mediation model.
resultsAffiliate stigma was negatively correlated with perceived social support (r = -0.288, p < 0.01) and was positively correlated with parenting stress (r = 0.464, p < 0.01). Additionally, perceived social support was negatively correlated with parenting stress (r = -0.457; p < 0.01). Perceived social support mediated the relationship between affiliate stigma and parenting stress (β = 0.156, B = 0.209, SE = 0.029, 95% bias-corrected bootstrap CI: 0.104 to 0.219).
conclusionPerceived social support may serve as a protective factor that buffers the negative impact of affiliate stigma on parenting stress. Interventions aimed at reducing stigma and enhancing multi-dimensional social support are recommended for parents of children with ADHD.
