Details

Coldwell, Pike and Dunn (2006) investigated whether household chaos predicted children's problem behaviour over and above parenting. From 118 families they recorded the age and gender of the youngest child (child_age and child_gender). They measured dimensions of the child's perceived relationship with their mum: (1) warmth/enjoyment (child_warmth), and (2) anger/hostility (child_anger). Higher scores indicate more warmth/enjoyment and anger/hostility respectively. They measured the mum's perceived relationship with her child, resulting in dimensions of positivity (mum_pos) and negativity (mum_neg). Household chaos (chaos) was assessed. The outcome variable was the child's adjustment (sdq): the higher the score, the more problem behaviour the child was reported to be displaying. These data are from this study. The data contain the following variables:

• family_id: The family id

• child_age: Age of the youngest child

• child_gender: Gender of the youngest child

• child_warmth: Perceived warmth of the child to the mother.

• child_anger: Perceived anger of the child towards to the mother.

• mum_pos: the mother's perceived positivity towards her child.

• mum_neg: the mother's perceived negativity towards her child.

• chaos: household chaos.

• sdq: the child's adjustment on the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ).
