q3 i? The indirect path from intervention to parent involvement at T4 through reduced T2 ineffective parenting was significant (z = 2.00, p = .045; standardized estimate = .03). → Pears 2015

Evidence¶

Pears 2015¶

Pears, K. C., Kim, H. K., Healey, C. V., Yoerger, K., & Fisher, P. A. (2015). Improving child self-regulation and parenting in families of pre-kindergarten children with developmental disabilities and behavioral difficulties. Prevention Science, 16, 222-232. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11121-014-0482-2

q3 · i? · causal · r3

SEM mediation test in the randomized trial: the intervention was significantly negatively associated with T2 ineffective parenting, which was in turn negatively associated with T4 parent involvement. The article reports the indirect path "was significant (z = 2.00, p = .045)".

"This indirect path from the intervention to parent involvement in kindergarten was significant (z = 2.00, p = .045; standardized estimate = .03, 95% confidence interval = .001 - .06)."
