2023, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Psychology.
While executive functions (EFs) in children have been shown to be highly related to socioeconomic status (SES), other factors may also influence this relationship, including parenting stress and social support. In this study, the utility of a mediated mediation model in explaining the relationship between SES, parenting stress, social support, and child EFs was examined. The model posited that SES exerts its effects on parenting stress partially through social support that the parents enjoy. At the same time, the model posited that SES exerts its effects on EFs in children partially through parenting stress. Seventy-two children and their parents were recruited through local daycares and preschools. While the hypothesized mediated mediation model was not supported, significant associations between SES, parenting stress, social support, and EFs in children were obtained. The findings from this study may provide an avenue for better understanding the complex relationship between SES and EFs in children.
