Baseline parenting styles as predictors of changes in child weight status 3 years later

Authoritative Authoritarian Uninvolved Indulgent
Mothers 19% 16% 37% 28%
Mean 0.51 0.42 0.59 0.87
SE 0.11 0.12 0.08 0.09
Follow-up ANCOVA F-values Indulgent versus Authoritative F(1, 27) = 4.32* Indulgent versus Authoritarian F(1, 25) = 6.87* Indulgent versus Uninvolved F(1, 39) = 3.66 (ns)
Uninvolved versus Authoritative F(1, 33) = 0.46 (ns) Uninvolved versus Authoritarian F(1, 31) = 2.10 (ns)
Authoritative versus Authoritarian F(1, 19) = 0.61 (ns)

Note. Estimated marginal means in the model were evaluated at a year one weight status score of 0.43. Weight Status Scores (normal = 0, overweight = 1, obese = 2).
