Subclaims¶

q2 i? Spanish-speaking children in higher engagement profiles scored significantly better on play interaction and total language than children in lower profiles. → McWayne 2016 q2 i? No significant distinctions among engagement profiles on child social outcomes were found for the English-speaking sample. → McWayne 2016 (2)

Evidence¶

McWayne 2016¶

McWayne, C. M., Melzi, G., Limlingan, M. C., & Schick, A. (2016). Ecocultural Patterns of Family Engagement among Low-income Latino Families of Preschool Children. Developmental Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0040343

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Auxiliary-variable LPA analyses with teacher-reported PIPPS outcomes for the Spanish-speaking subsample. The article reports a half standard deviation score difference on Play Interaction between the High and Average profiles and the low profile group.

"children of Spanish-speaking parents who comprised the higher engagement profiles demonstrated significantly better scores on play interaction and the total language measure compared to children whose parents comprised profiles reflecting lower levels of engagement."

McWayne 2016 (2)¶

McWayne, C. M., Melzi, G., Limlingan, M. C., & Schick, A. (2016). Ecocultural Patterns of Family Engagement among Low-income Latino Families of Preschool Children. Developmental Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0040343

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Same auxiliary-variable analyses for the English-speaking subsample. The article attributes the null possibly to the small Low Engagement cell size, noting the observed play interaction difference between lowest and highest profiles was a full standard deviation.

"there were no significant distinctions among engagement profiles based on child social outcomes."
