Odds Ratios Examining Effects of Early Childhood Characteristics (in Grade 1) on Teacher-Child Warmth and Conflict Trajectories from Grades 1 to 12
Trajectory class | Conduct problems (TR) | Conduct problems (PR) | Academic performance | Gender (male) | African American | Hispanic | Socioeconomic adversity | Grade retention |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate warmth | 2.20* | 1.23 | 0.73 | 6.84* | 0.00*** | 0.14 | 2.20 | 2.26 |
High early-declining warmth | 1.63*** | 1.21 | 1.18 | 3.77** | 3.02 | 0.39 | 1.63 | 0.38 |
Low-increasing warmth | 3.30*** | 1.23 | 0.98 | 0.77 | 22.33 | 1.75 | 0.20 | 0.93 |
High late-declining conflict | 2.80** | 1.39 | 0.84 | 6.56* | 13.40 | 0.08 | 1.69 | 0.30 |
High early-declining conflict | 3.02** | 1.04 | 1.76 | 1.73 | 4.86 | 0.50 | 0.71 | 3.61 |
Adolescent-onset conflict | 1.60 | 0.86 | 1.16 | 4.88* | 2.60 | 0.24* | 2.07 | 1.20 |
Moderate conflict | 1.35* | 1.06 | 0.81 | 9.99*** | 2.80* | 0.63 | 2.28* | 2.17* |
Notes: TR = teacher report; PR = parent report. The high-declining warmth and low conflict trajectory classes were used as the reference groups in their respective models.
