Psychological flexibility in parenting questionnaire (Greene, Field, Fargo, and Twohigm, 2015), depression, anxiety and stress questionnaire (Lovibond, and Lovibond, 1995) and child behavioral checklist (Achenbach, and Rescorla, 2001) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed with SPSS-20 software using Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression.
