Within a total sample of 130 parents, 27 were parents of children with ADHD (P-ADHD), 38 were parents of children with a diagnosis of dyslexia (P-DYS) and the other 65 participants were parents of children with typical development (P-TD). A battery of cognitive tasks was administered which included verbal and non-verbal Intellectual Quotient (IQ), reading speed (passage and nonwords), verbal fluency and the Attention Network Task (ANT). Reading history, symptoms of ADHD in adults and parenting stress were measured through questionnaires. Group differences evidenced that the P-DYS group had lower scores in the reading tasks, in the verbal fluency task and in the reading history questionnaire. Conversely, the P-ADHD group had more transversal cognitive weaknesses (IQ, reading tasks, verbal fluency) and the highest scores in parenting stress and ADHD symptoms, together with poor reading history. The groups did not differ in the ANT task. Parenting stress was predicted, on the whole sample, by lower socioeconomic status (SES) and number of family members and higher ADHD symptoms. Implications for research and clinical settings are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph16111878","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,28]],"date-time":"2019-05-28T11:18:09Z","timestamp":1559042289000},"page":"1878","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Parenting Stress and Broader Phenotype in Parents of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyslexia or Typical Development"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9831-8687","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paola","family":"Bonifacci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Psicologia, Universit\u00e0 di Bologna, Viale Berti Pichat n.5, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Massi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UO NPIA, Servi territoriali, Ausl Bologna, Via Sant\u2019Isaia 90, 40123 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Veronica","family":"Pignataro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Psicologia, Universit\u00e0 di Bologna, Viale Berti Pichat n.5, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Zocco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Psicologia, Universit\u00e0 di Bologna, Viale Berti Pichat n.5, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Chiodo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UO NPIA, Servi territoriali, Ausl Bologna, Via Sant\u2019Isaia 90, 40123 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"357","article-title":"Causal modelling: A structural approach to developmental psychopathology","volume":"1","author":"Morton","year":"1995","journal-title":"Manual Develop.
