Note. PBS = Parent Busy/Unresponsive; CPR = Child Problem Response; PAT = Parent Attention; CAB = Child Appropriate/Acceptable Behavior; CAR (in bold) = Child Appropriate/Acceptable Behavior or Reduce Problem Behavior. JNTF = Observed Joint/Lagged Frequencies; CONP = Conditional Probability; ADJR = Adjusted Residual; PVALUE = Probability Value. F1A = Family 1 Dinner Routine; F1B = Family 1 Free-time/Dishwashing Routine; F4A = Family 4 Free-time/Working on Computer Routine; F6A = Family 6 Free-time/Talking with Older Daughter Routine; F6B = Family 6 Dinner Routine; F7A = Family 7 Free-time/Dishwashing Routine; F10A = Family 10 Free-time/Dinner Preparation Routine; and F10B = Family 10 Dinner Routine.
