Structural model predicting the latent factors prosocial behavior and receptive vocabulary from the manifest variables self-regulation, frequency of shared parent-child activities, and maternal life satisfaction. All equations are controlled for child’s age and sex. selective equations are controlled for child’s liking for gummi bears and having siblings (Hlb, H2a). visiting day-care/school (H1d, H2c, H3b), mothers verbal abilities (HIa, H1d, H2c, H3b) and mother’s education (Hla, Hlc, Hid, H2b, H2c, H3a, H3b). Printed path estimates are standardized β-coefficients in the following order: direct effect/indirect effect/total effect; ^†p < 0.1, ^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01, ^∗∗∗p < 0.001. N = 291 mother-child dyads.
