Note: Parent n = 202; Day n = 1,340. Daily positive mood was measured by averaging six items from 1 = none of the day to 5 = all of the day; daily negative mood was measured by averaging nine items from 1 = none of the day to 5 = all of the day. SE = standard error; VAR = variance.

a1 = having a disability and 0 = no disability. b1 = male and 0 = female. c1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = very good, and 5 = excellent. d1 = married or remarried and 0 = not married. e1 = racial minority and 0 = non-minority. f1 = coresiding with any child and 0 = not coresiding.
