Abstract :
The aim of this research was to compare resilience, wisdom, expressed emotion and time perspective in mothers with mentally disabled children and mothers with healthy children. The present research was a descriptive study of a causal-comparative type, the research sample included all mothers with mentally retarded children and mothers with normal children aged 7 to 12 years in the academic year 1401-1402, of which 120 mothers, 60 mothers with mentally retarded children and 60 mothers with normal children were selected using available sampling method. Data were collected using Zimbardo and Boyd's time perspective questionnaires, Connor and Davidson's resilience scale, King and Emmons' emotional expressiveness and Ardlet's wisdom questionnaire. In order to analyze the data, multivariate analysis of variance was used and data was analyzed using SPSS software. The obtained results showed that the components of time perspective, expressed emotion, resilience and wisdom in mothers with intellectually disabled children compared to mothers with healthy children. In other words, compared to mothers with normal children, mothers with mentally disabled children experience less wisdom, more deterministic present, positive past and less future-oriented present, less resilience, more negative emotions and less positive emotions. This findings, clarify the importance of studying the variables affecting the psychological health of caregivers of mentally retarded children.
