Model 1 presents final results for the growth curve analysis. Model 2 presents the results of the mediation analyses. Results with each potential mediator entered separately were consistent with those presented; we present the results with all mediators entered simultaneously to conserve space. Time was coded 0, 1, 2, 4, 7, and 9. Time-varying predictors are italicized. Baseline race/ethnicity, baseline children, employed, lagged birth of child, and concurrent birth of child were all dichotomous, dummy-coded predictors. All other variables were treated as continuous. All baseline demographic covariates were grand mean centered. All time-varying demographic covariates were person-mean centered. Coefficients that did not differ significantly between husbands and wives were pooled across gender. Coefficients that differed significantly are presented on separate lines.
