Self-esteem moderated the path from perceived discrimination to intergroup relations as well as the path from intergroup anxiety to intergroup relations.In the case of high self-esteem, the perceived discrimination of parents of ASD has an enhanced influence on intergroup relations. In the case of low self-esteem, the intergroup anxiety of parents of ASD has an enhanced influence on the intergroup relationship of parents of ASD.

Key words: perceived discrimination, intergroup relations, intergroup anxiety, self-esteem, parents of ASD
