q3 i0 School attachment predicted school adjustment (β = .11) but not GPA; family climate was a marginally significant predictor of school adjustment (β = .07, p < .06) and not associated with GPA. → Xia 2016

In the same cross-lagged model, the family and school domain predictors showed weaker effects than ASR: "increases in school adjustment over time (β = .11)" for school attachment, and a marginal β = .07 (p < .06) for family climate; neither predicted GPA.

"School attachment was associated with increases in school adjustment over time (β = .11), but did not predict changes in GPA. Family climate was a marginally significant predictor of school adjustment over time (β = .07, p < .06), but was not associated with GPA."
