Path model depicting paths from preschool anger to kindergarten emotional engagementand behavioral school engagement to kindergarten achievement. Model fit:χ²(3) = 2.04, p= .56; Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 1.00; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = .00; standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = .01. The model was estimated using 5000 bias-corrected bootstrap samples. Unstandardized estimates are followed by standardized estimates in parentheses. Estimates for covariates can be found in Table 3. Solid lines indicate significant paths; dotted lines indicate non-significant paths. Covariances among preschool and kindergarten variables were included in the final model but not depicted for readability.*p<.05,^**p≤.01.
