q3 i? In the unconditional parallel process model, maternal initial growth mindset positively predicted children's growth mindset at Time 5 (β = 0.127, p = 0.03); after demographic controls the path was marginally significant (β = 0.109, p = 0.064). → Jiao Chen and Chunhui Liu 2023

q3 · i? · associational · r3

Parallel process latent growth curve model linking mothers' and children's growth mindset trajectories. The unconditional model showed a significant intercept-to-intercept path (β = 0.127, p = 0.03); in the conditional model controlling for child gender and age and parental education and income, the path was marginally significant (β = 0.109, p = 0.064).

"the initial level of maternal growth mindset could positively predict the initial level of children’s growth mindset ( β = 0.127, p = 0.03), which means that maternal growth mindset at Time 1 positively predicts children’s growth mindset at Time 5"
