Subclaims¶
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.
q2 i? Parental self-efficacy has a significant positive direct effect on family satisfaction (b = .50, t = 4.75). → Tricia M. van Rhijn & Donna S. Lero 2014
q2 i? School-family balance partially mediates the parental self-efficacy to family satisfaction path (indirect b = .15, t = 3.19). → Tricia M. van Rhijn & Donna S. Lero 2014 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Same 398-participant cross-sectional SEM study. The structural model showed "student parents with higher self-efficacy beliefs regarding their ability to parent reported feeling more satisfied with their family," with the model accounting for 29% of family satisfaction variance.
"Similarly, student parents with higher self-efficacy beliefs regarding their ability to parent reported feeling more satisfied with their family."

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Bootstrapped mediation analysis (1000 draws) of the same survey data. The parental self-efficacy total effect on family satisfaction (b = .65) separated into a direct effect (b = .50, t = 4.75) and an indirect effect through school-family balance (b = .15, t = 3.19).
"the total effect of parental self-efficacy (F2) on family satisfaction (F5) (b = .65) was separated into a significant direct effect (b = .50, t = 4.75) and a significant indirect effect through the mediator, school-family balance (b = .15, t = 3.19)."
