Latent Growth Mediation Model - Indirect Effects
| Longitudinal Pathways | b | Bias Corrected 95% CI | Indirect Effect / Total Effect | β |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exposure to Violence (9th grade) → Future Expectation (9th grade) → Firearm Carriage (A9th-12th grade) | .15 | .04, .44 | 30.61% | 0.1* |
| Exposure to Violence (9th grade) → Future Expectation (A9th-12th grade) → Firearm Carriage (A9th-12th grade) | −.04 | −.34, .004 | N/A | −0.03 |
| Exposure to Violence (A9th-12th grade) → Future Expectation (A9th-12th grade) → Firearm Carriage (A9th-12th grade) | .22 | −.01, 1.48 | 9.60% | 0.05 |
Note. N/A = proportion of indirect and total effect is not meaningful because the indirect effect is negative. β = standardized coefficient.
