Indirect effects of parenting skills on relation between Infant Behavior Program
and responsive caregiving at 6-month follow-up. Note: Values
outside the parentheses represent standardized regression weights and values
inside the parentheses represent unstandardized regression weights; dotted line
represents indirect effect. Model fit indices: CMIN χ2
= 2.58, p = .784; root mean square error of
approximation < .001, PCLOSE: p = .845; comparative
fit index = 1.00, Tucker-Lewis index = 1.00. Regression weights
for covariates: maternal education, β = −0.10
(−0.08); infant age in months, β = −0.13
(−0.10); infant ethnicity, β = 0.08 (0.41); baseline
maternal warmth/positive affect, β = 0.10 (0.09); baseline
maternal sensitivity/responsivity, β = .014 (.015); and baseline
parenting do skills β = 0.15 (0.036).
