Conversely, negative emotion regulation strategies, mediated by communication skills, significantly predicted lower psychological well-being (β = -0.14, p = 0.001) and marital commitment (β = -0.19, p = 0.001).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> In addition, the findings indicated that communication skills mediated the relationship between positive and negative emotion regulation strategies, psychological well-being and marital commitment of mothers of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.</p> https://maherpub.com/index.php/jndd/article/download/385/312
