Predicting Child’s Age 48 Occupational Prestige from Parents’ Education, Other Indices of Socioeconomic Status, and Child IQ: Mediation by Family Interactions, Child Aggression, and Teenage Aspirations. The model did not fit significantly better if paths were unconstrained between genders; so all paths are equated across gender. Thus, the unstandardized path coefficients are the same for each gender, but for ease of interpretation, we display the (unweighted) averages of the standardized path coefficients for males and females. Note that the standardized coefficients are slightly different for males and females due to gender differences in the standard deviations of the variables. All Age 8 to Age 19 and Age 19 to Age 48 paths were included in the model, but the non-significant paths are not displayed. Significant indirect paths from age 8 to 48 are shown in bold. Model fit statistics: χ2=41.46, df=37, p=.282; RMSEA=.012; CFI=.996; Squared Multiple Correlation = .24 for females and .21 for males.
