Subclaims¶

q2 i? Indirect effects showed average partial mediation of family resilience on the ACEs-flourishing relationship for Black (37.5%) and Hispanic (30.6%) children. → Goldstein 2021 q2 i? Partial mediation also held for children living below (27.7%) and above (21.0%) 400% FPL. → Goldstein 2021 (2)

Evidence¶

Goldstein 2021¶

Goldstein, E., Topitzes, J., Miller-Cribbs, J. & Brown, R. L. (2021). Influence of race/ethnicity and income on the link between adverse childhood experiences and child flourishing. Pediatric Research. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41390-020-01188-6

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Probit moderated-mediation estimates by race/ethnicity in the NSCH sample; the printed percentages are proportions of the total effect explained by family resilience, not standardized effect sizes, so impact is null.

"Indirect effects demonstrated an average partial mediation of family resilience on the relationship between ACEs and flourishing for Black (37.5%) and Hispanic (30.6%) children."

Goldstein 2021 (2)¶

q2 · i? · associational · r2

FPL-stratified indirect-effect estimates from the same probit model; all direct, indirect, and total effect parameter estimates were reported statistically significant, with no standardized effect size printed.

"Indirect effects demonstrated an average partial mediation of family resilience on the relationship between ACEs and flourishing for children who were living below (27.7%) and above (21.0%) FPL."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• ACE exposure is unevenly distributed: children below 400% FPL and Black and Hispanic children have higher prevalence of two or more ACEs
• Moderation by race/ethnicity: White children show significantly greater flourishing decrements as ACEs increase, while Black and Hispanic children show steeper declines in family resilience
• As cumulative ACEs increase, children's probability of flourishing (learning interest, task completion, self-regulation) and family resilience decrease across race/ethnicity and income groups — related
• The moderated-mediation effect of family resilience on the ACEs-curiosity-in-learning relationship is significantly greater for Black than for White children — related
• Above-FPL children improved more in staying calm and in control as family resilience increased, but no significant FPL moderated-mediation effects emerged — related
