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? Three-profile solutions were selected as best fitting for both the Spanish and English language subsamples. → McWayne 2016

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Latent profile analyses of PEFL factor scores run separately for Spanish-speaking (n=465) and English-speaking (n=185) caregiver subsamples; fit indices, LMRT, and posterior probabilities supported three profiles in each sample. The article reports the three-profile solutions were "selected as the best fitting models."
"Taking all information from these indices into consideration, the three-profile solutions were selected as the best fitting models and used in subsequent analyses."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Demographic predictors of engagement profile membership differed across language groups, with employment the only significant predictor for English-speaking parents — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Children in higher family engagement profiles had higher total language skills in both language subsamples, most pronounced among English-speaking families — related
- Higher engagement profiles related to better play interaction for Spanish-speaking children but showed no significant social outcome differences among English-speaking profiles — related
- Different engagement dimensions defined the high engagement profiles across language groups: school participation for Spanish-speaking parents, foundational education for English-speaking parents — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- ELL parents generally place a high value on their children's education — related
