Problem: The present study Child ASD-related symptoms have been found to be poor predictors of parental psychological wellbeing [[46]], and instead parenting stress has emerged as a key predictor. Better parenting results in better child outcomes, and identifying factors related to parenting stress allow for more effective and targeted parent-based interventions. By acknowledging reciprocal relationships between variables, and that a variable may have proximal or distal effects on other variables, NA can better represent the structures underlying complex systems. The particular network approach employed in the current study involved a Bayesian network analysis comprising DAGs. The use of DAGs has become widespread in psychology and epidemiology to discern dependency or causal relationships among variables in observational datasets. In addition, we combined this method with structural equation modelling (SEM) to quantify the goodness of fit of the models obtained from our NA, and to estimate the strength of the relationships between elements of the network.
