Measurement tools ‎included Parental Stress Scale, Positive Perception Scale and Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale. The ‎relationship between variables and their prediction role were analyzed in the structural model by the ‎AMOS.V24 and the differences between the two groups of mothers were analyzed with ‎independent t-test by the SPSS.V24 software. The results showed that there is a significant negative ‎correlation between parental stress and marital satisfaction and there is a significant positive ‎correlation between positive perception and marital satisfaction. Positive perception has good ‎predictive power for marital satisfaction. The results also showed that there were a significant ‎difference between two groups of mothers in positive perception and parental stress.‎‏ ‏Positive ‎perception to self and one’s abilities can play an effective role in reduction of the stress associated ‎with parenting tasks and increasing marital satisfaction, especially in mothers of children with ‎special needs.‎
