Moderation

Moderating relation

• A moderator variable is one that affects the strength of the relation between a predictor variable and an outcome variable. The size of the effect depends on the moderator.

– The effect of divorce may be higher for children’s behavior problems in poor families, compared to children in rich families.

– The effect of mothers’ physical discipline on their children’s behavior problems depends on cultural normativeness.

– The effect of mothers’ psychological control on their children’s behavior problems depends on mothers’ warmth.

Lansford, J. E. et al. (2005). Physical discipline and children’s

adjustment: Cultural normativeness as a moderator.

• Predictor: Physical discipline

– 3 physical discipline strategies (spank or slap, grab or shake, beat up)

• Outcome: Behavioral adjustment

– Aggression (one type of externalizing behavior problem)

– Anxiety (one type of internalizing behavior problem)

• Moderator: Cultural normativeness

– Perceptions of how frequently other people use physical discipline



Physical

Discipline

Child

Outcome

The degree to which

physical discipline

is accepted

in your culture







So should we or should not we use physical discipline?

Aunola & Nurmi (2005). The role of parenting style in

children’s problem behavior.

• Predictor: Parenting Styles

– Affection

• “I often show my child that I love him/her”

– Behavioral Control

• “If my child misbehaves I usually rebuke him/her”

– Psychological Control (control by guilt)

• “I let my child see how disappointed and ashamed I am if

he/she misbehaves”

– Positive psychological control? - Ludmila and Anna (Rabelova)



Outcomes:

• Internalizing behavior problems

• Externalizing behavior problems

Moderators:

• The other parent’s parenting behaviors

• Another parenting style





Enmeshment:

• Defined as psychological and emotional fusion among family members.

• Mothers are supportive and close to the child (i.e., high affection) but, they communicate guilt-inducing attitudes (i.e., high psychological control), which manipulate the child’s psychological world and increase the child’s dependence.

• Restricts children’s free expression of their thoughts and emotions.

Inconsistent message/double message

Homework

• Read two articles – Doherty, W. J., Kouneski, E. F., & Erickson, M. F. (1998).

Responsible fathering: An overview and conceptual framework. Journal of Marriage & the Family, 60, 277-292.
