Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Child conduct problems, parent-reported (Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory; Eyberg & Ross, 1987) and observed during online etch-a-sketch. Additional included outcomes (T6 and T12) are: parental hostility (PARQ and observed), sibling behavior problems (shortened ECBI), sibling relationship quality (SRQ), parental use of positive reinforcement techniques, parental attribution of disruptive behavior, child CU traits, parental mental health (DASS-21). All outcomes will be measured at baseline (T0), to allow for moderator analyses. In addition, we will measure at baseline (T0) various sociodemographics (child age and gender, parental educational level and income, single parenthood, cultural identification) to describe the sample and allow for moderator analyses to identify differential effects. | — |
