Table 6.

Parameters of models assessing the relationship between the belief that ‘parents should teach their children how to pray’ and ‘religion should be an important part of one’s life’ and individual network properties. Across properties, effect sizes (Cohen’s d) were calculated with strength of belief = 1 (not at all) as the reference, with adjustments for unequal sample sizes. A range of effect sizes across properties, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are provided.
