Abstract: Objective To analyze the relationship and internal mechanism between family functioning and reading ability in children with developmental dyslexia (DD), in order to provide reference for family support and intervention measures for DD children. Methods From March to June 2023, a multistage random cluster sampling method was used to screen out 451 children with DD and 451 typically developed(TD) children from the 3rd to 6th grade students in 9 primary schools in a certain region of Xinjiang. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Family Functioning Scale, Simple Coping Styles Questionnaire, Social Adaptation Inventory for Children and Adolescents, and Elementary School Children's Language Reading Ability Measurement Inventory. The Stroop program, 2-Back program, and digit span program were used to evaluate executive function. Amos 26.0 was used to construct a structural equation model and test the mediating effects. Results 1) The total score of family functioning in the DD group was higher than that in the TD group (t=3.501, P<0.001); the reading ability, social adaptation ability, and parental coping style scores of children in the DD group were significantly lower than those in the TD group (t=-26.375, -11.309, -2.341, P<0.05); the accuracy of the 2-Back task, Stroop task, and number conversion task in children of the DD group were all significantly lower than those in the TD group (t=-4.107, -7.336, -6.114, P<0.001); 2) The family functioning score in DD children was negatively correlated with reading ability, social adaptation, positive coping, 2-Back accuracy, Stroop accuracy, and number conversion accuracy (r=-0.64~-0.32, P<0.01), and positively correlated with negative coping (r=0.62, P<0.01); 3) Family functioning had a significant direct effect on the reading ability of DD children (β=-0.144, P<0.05) ,and it also had an indirect effect on reading ability through the mediating of executive function, social adaptation, and parental coping style (β=-0.552, P<0.001). Conclusion The level of family functioning is an important factor affecting the reading ability of DD children, with executive function, social adaptation, and parental coping styles playing multiple mediating roles.
