q3 i? Mothers' growth mindset slope predicted children's intercept (β = 0.215, p = 0.008 conditional) and children's slope (β = 0.362, p = 0.006 conditional): when mothers' mindset declined more rapidly, children's declined more rapidly. → Jiao Chen and Chunhui Liu 2023

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Parallel process latent growth curve model (conditional model fit CFI = 0.986, RMSEA = 0.017). The slope-to-slope path from maternal to child growth mindset was significant in both models, indicating coupled decline trajectories; the slope-to-intercept path was also significant (β = 0.215, p = 0.008).

"The results also showed a significant and positive link from the slope of maternal growth mindset to children’s slope in the conditional (β = 0.362, p = 0.006) and unconditional models (β = 0.369, p = 0.007); that is, when the mothers’ growth mindset declined more rapidly, the children’s growth mindset declined more rapidly"
