Note: All continuous predictors were standardized prior to estimating logistic regression models. “Sensitive/Engaged” is the reference class.

a

Marital status: 0 = married, 1 = cohabiting.

b

Mother part-time employment: 0 = not employed (0 hours per week), 1 = part-time employment (5–35 hours per week);

c

Mother full-time employment: 0 = not employed (0 hours per week), 1 = full-time employment (35 or more hours per week);

d

Child gender: 0 = female, 1 = male.

e

Father race: 0 = White, 1 = African American.

f

Father nonstandard work schedule: 0 = standard day shift, 1 = nonstandard work shift.
