“…The variable childhood financial conditions was used as a proxy for childhood socioeconomic status, and was measured retrospectively by the question: "How was your family's financial situation when you were a child?" on a 4-point scale (1=very good, 2=good, 3=difficult, 4=very difficult) [64,1,2,9,3,54,4]. The test-retest reliability of childhood financial conditions was good (Kappa weighted : 0.61, 95% CI: 0.59-0.63) in this sample [3,4].…”

“…First, assessing mediation with cross-sectional studies can lead to questionable inferences [2,54], as studies have shown reciprocal associations between perceived social isolation and internalizing symptoms [55,38,56]. Studies with dense temporal sampling are also vulnerable to these biases [54]. A potential solution for establishing temporal order between perceived social isolation and internalizing symptoms is a long follow-up period [54,4].…”

A potential solution for establishing temporal order between perceived social isolation and internalizing symptoms is a long follow-up period [54,4]. Other studies have shown that the association between childhood physical maltreatment and internalizing symptoms is over-estimated in cross-sectional studies due to differential misclassification error [2].…”

A number of cross-sectional studies have consistently shown a correlation between childhood physical maltreatment, perceived social isolation and internalizing symptoms. Using a longitudinal, three-wave design, this study sought to assess the mediating role of perceived social isolation in adulthood in the association between childhood physical maltreatment and internalizing symptoms in adulthood. The study has a three-wave design. We used data collected from 1994 to 2008 within the framework of the Tromsø Study (N = 4530), a representative prospective cohort study of men and women. Perceived social isolation was measured at a mean age of 54.7 years, and internalizing symptoms were measured at a mean age of 61.7 years. The difference-in-coefficients method was used to assess the indirect effects and the proportion (%) of mediated effects. Childhood physical maltreatment was associated with an up to 68% [relative risk (RR) = 1.68, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.33-2.13] higher risk of perceived social isolation in adulthood. Childhood physical maltreatment and perceived social isolation in adulthood were associated with greater levels of internalizing symptoms in adulthood (p < 0.01). A dose-response association was observed between childhood physical maltreatment and internalizing symptoms in adulthood (p < 0.001). Perceived social isolation in adulthood mediated up to 14.89% (p < 0.05) of the association between childhood physical maltreatment and internalizing symptoms in adulthood. The results of this study indicate the need to take perceived social isolation into account when considering the impact of childhood physical maltreatment on internalizing symptoms.

“…Detailed illustrations can be found in the excellent texts of Aguinis (2004), Aiken and West (1991), Hayes (2013), and Jaccard and Turrisi (2003). Moreover, a related study of direct and indirect effects with multiple interactions is presented in Sheikh, Abelsen, and Olsen (2017). The statistical procedure for detecting the interactions between continuous and categorical variables is methodologically identical to that for testing the equality of slope coefficients in two or more regression lines.…”

The reporting and interpretation of effect size estimates are widely advocated in many academic journals of psychology and related disciplines. However, such concern has not been adequately addressed for analyses involving interactions between categorical and continuous variables. For the purpose of improving current practice, this article presents fundamental features and theoretical developments for the variance of standardized slopes as a desirable standardized effect size measure for the degree of disparity between several slope coefficients. To estimate the effect size, a consistent and nearly unbiased estimator is described and a simple refinement is emphasized for extreme situations whenever appropriate. The essential problems of power and sample size calculations for testing the equality of slope coefficients are also considered. According to the analytic justification and empirical assessment, the exact approach has a clear advantage over the approximate methods. Both SAS and R computer codes are provided to facilitate practical accessibility of the proposed techniques in interaction studies.

“…Educational success is important for future health and economic well-being. 7 Therefore, it is important to investigate whether children with AD are at risk of lower educational attainment and if so to determine the underlying mechanisms. This knowledge will assist in planning interventions to support children during their lives.…”

Education and health and well-being: direct and indirect effects with multiple mediators and interactions with multiple imputed data in Stata

Abstract: This study contributes to the literature on mediation analysis, as well as the literature on the importance of education for health-related quality of life and subjective well-being. The influence of education on health and well-being had different pathways in this Norwegian sample.
