Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Fathers' initial engagement levels and their positive linear growth in engagement both positively predicted children's behavioral self-control at T3, controlling for child age, gender, and T1 self-control. → Tiago Ferreira 2018

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Latent growth curve model linking fathers' engagement trajectory to teacher-rated child self-control at T3, controlling for T1 self-control, age, and gender. The article reports "Both the intercept... and slope... of fathers’ engagement positively predicted child self-control at T3."
"Both the intercept (b /H11005.37, p /H11021.001, 95% CI [.25, .47], /H9252/H11005.29) and slope ( b /H110052.06, p /H11021.001, 95% CI [.99, 3.12], /H9252/H11005.42) of fathers’ engagement positively predicted child self-control at T3 (see Figure 3, Model B)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Child self-control at baseline is negatively associated with parents' work-family conflict at baseline and fathers' conflict at wave two — related
- Mothers' initial engagement positively predicts children's behavioral self-control — related
- Mothers' engagement in positive activities with children remains stable over early childhood while fathers' engagement shows significant linear growth — related
- Fathers' initial engagement levels are lower than mothers' but their growth rate is higher, narrowing the gap over time — related
