Were evaluated for Chloroquine (diphosphate) manufacturer missing data. In the sample of 118 children, 6.59 of the total data points were missing completely at random, NSC309132 chemical information Little’s MCAR test 2(759) = 809.43, p = .10; missing data points were imputed using the Expectation-Maximization algorithm (Dempster, Laird, Rubin, 1977). Child age did not correlate with any of the concurrent outcome measures; it was therefore excluded as a covariate. Maternal social desirability was not related to any child outcome measures reported by mothers with 2 exceptions: Maternal social desirability at 14 years was related to mothers’ reports of child externalizing, r(116) = -.21, p < .05, and internalizing, r(116) = -.20, p < .05. To remove the effect of maternal social desirability bias on reports of child behavioral adjustment at age 14 years, adjusted scores were calculated by adding the mean scores to the residuals from linear regression of externalizing and internalizing behaviors on the SDS-SF and were used in all analyses. Correlations among scale scores for social competence, externalizing, and internalizing behaviors at each of the 3 ages were all positive and, in most cases, significant. Correlations between the 2 indicators of externalizing behavior at ages 4, 10, and 14 years were rs(115)Dev Psychopathol. Author manuscript; available in PMC 2012 August 06.Bornstein et al.Page= .45, .44, and .25, ps < .001, .001, and .01, respectively. Correlations between the 2 indicators of internalizing behavior at age 10 and 14 years were rs(115) = .40 and .41, respectively, ps < .001. Ten out of the 15 pair-wise correlations among indicators of social competence at the 3 ages were significant, range of rs(115) among the significant correlations = .21 (p < .05) to .52 (p < .001), and for the nonsignificant correlations range = . 03 to .18. Measurement models were evaluated for social competence at each of the 3 time points. At all 3 ages, excellent model fits were achieved: At age 4, S-B 2(1) = 0.03, p = . 87, Robust CFI = 1.00, SRMR = .01; at age 10, S-B 2(2) = 4.09, p = .13, Robust CFI = .96, SRMR = .05; at age 14, S-B 2(2) = 1.60, p = .45, Robust CFI = 1.00, SRMR = .03. Factor loadings for social competence at all 3 ages were significant at the .05 level or better.1 Summary scores representing age 4-, 10-, and 14-year social competence, externalizing, and internalizing were each computed as the mean standard scores of all relevant scale scores obtained at each respective age and were used in path analysis models. The Anxious-Fearful subscale of the PBQ was the sole indicator of age 4-year internalizing behaviors; it was used as an observed variable in the path analysis models, and no mean standard score was computed for age 4-year internalizing behaviors. Prior to fitting any path analysis models, we inspected bivariate plots to confirm that variables in the models were linearly related and that no curvilinear effects obtained between pairs of variables. In the course of fitting path analysis models, we evaluated the Mardia (1970) coefficients of multivariate kurtosis and the cases that contributed most to those estimates, as well as the stability of parameter estimates and the cases that contributed disproportionately to parameter estimates. One case was identified as a multivariate outlier, and it contributed disproportionately to parameter estimates. This case was removed from the final analyses. After this case was deleted, no more cases contributed disproportionately to parameter estimates.Were evaluated for missing data.
