Abstract Objective To study the relationship between parental self-efficacy and social adaptability of children with intellectual disability, and explore the moderating effect of gender. Methods The parental self-efficacy questionnaire and the social adaptation behavior questionnaire were used to survey 283 parents of children with intellectual disabilities. Regression analysis was carried out on the predictive relationship among various variables, and the structural equation model was established for path and moderating effect analysis. Results There was bidirectional positive predictive effect between parental self-efficacy and social adaptability of children with intellectual disability. The bidirectional multiple regression analysis showed that when parental self-efficacy and social adaptation ability of children with intellectual disability were independent variables respectively, different dimensions had different predictive effects on dependent variables. The gender of children with intellectual disability moderated the effect of social adaptability on parental self-efficacy. Parental self-efficacy improved more significantly when girls had higher social adaptability. Conclusion Parental self-efficacy can interact with social adaptability of children. The improvement of social adaptability of girls with intellectual disability has more positive effects on parental self-efficacy.
