Youth Self-Esteem, Autistic Traits, and Parenting Styles in a Comparative Study

76 participants (40 with ASD, 36 typically developing) were assessed for autistic traits, parenting attitudes, and self-esteem. The data, authored by Kazuhiko Yamamuro and last updated in March 2026, shows children with ASD had significantly lower self-esteem than their peers. Higher autistic trait scores were independently associated with lower self-esteem, while parenting attitudes were more closely related to self-esteem than clinician-rated symptom severity.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between autistic traits and self-esteem based on AQ-J scores.
• Analyzing the impact of parenting attitudes on self-esteem using PNPS data.
• Comparing self-esteem outcomes between ASD and typically developing groups using RSES scores.
• Investigating the relative influence of parenting style versus clinician-rated symptom severity (ADOS-2) on self-esteem.

Strengths

• Data includes 76 participants with a clear breakdown of 40 ASD and 36 typically developing individuals.
• Measures are standardized clinical instruments (AQ-J, PNPS, RSES, ADOS-2).
• Analysis includes regression coefficients (e.g., β ≈ −0.48) and p-values for key relationships.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small at 32.9 KB, indicating limited scope.
