Literatures suggested that self-esteem is an imperative factor of a successful parenting. However, parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to develop lower self-esteem, despite showing averagely higher resilience compared to other parents. To gain a deeper understanding on the relationship between self-esteem and resilience, this study aimed to investigate whether perceived social support mediates the association of resilience and selfesteem among parents of children with ASD. One hundred and fifty-three (153) parents from a state in Malaysia were chosen through purposive sampling as participants in this study to provide their responses in three questionnaires, namely Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, Two-Dimensional Model of Self-Esteem Scale, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The results of multiple regression suggested that perceived social support partially mediates the link between resilience and self-esteem. Furthermore, the findings also suggested that perceived social support is predicted by the participants’ resilience, instead of predicting it. It was also indicated that self-worth dimension of self-esteem received stronger contribution from both resilience and perceived social support when compared to the self-competence dimension. In conclusion, findings of this study indicated that perceived social support partially explained the link between resilience and selfesteem, hence suggested other factors might contribute to the self-esteem of the PCA apart from resilience and perceived social supports.
