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).
