Associations between parenting stress, responsiveness, child prosocial
behavior and child behavior problems. Mothers’ and fathers’
pathways are constrained, except for pathways from predicting child behavior
problems. Dotted lines indicate pathways where p > .05.
Note: Coefficients are standardized. Model controls for
parental depression, race, education, age, number of biological children, child
sex, treatment group, income-to-poverty ratio, marital, and residential
status.
