q3 i? Family climate was associated with increases in ASR over each of three time intervals, while ASR predicted later family climate in only one interval. → Xia 2016

In the four-wave cross-lag model, family climate predicted ASR increases in all three intervals; the authors report only one of three reverse paths from ASR to family climate was significant, indicating "the direction of effects between family climate and ASR was unidirectional".

"More cohesive, more organized, and less conflictual family climates were associated with increases in ASR across all three time intervals."
