Upper panel represents the conceptualization of the mediation model, where: (A) = relation between mother-child discrepancies in perceived child behavior problems and maternal stress; (B) = relation between maternal stress and mother-child conflict; and (C) = relation between mother-child discrepancies and mother-child conflict that is mediated by maternal stress. Lower panel represents the tests for the indirect (i.e., mediating) effect of the PSI Child Domain Score (maternal stress) on the association between the RDI Discrepancy Score (mother-child discrepancies) and the CTS Conflict Score (mother-child conflict). This test examined whether there was a significant drop in the total effect (i.e., the association between the RDI Discrepancy Score and the CTS Conflict Score) after the PSI Child Domain Score was in the model.
