Note: PES = parental emotion socialization; M = mediator; DV = dependent variable; a1 = path from intervention to fathers’ PES slope; b1 = path from fathers’ PES slope to child outcome; a2 = path from intervention to mothers’ PES slope; b2 = path from mothers’ PES slope to child outcome; a1*b1 = indirect effect of intervention on child outcome through fathers’ PES slope; a2*b2 = indirect effect of intervention on child outcome through mothers’ PES slope.
