In such growth model applications, researchers have been widely encouraged to supplement reporting of statistical significance with measures of effect size, such as R-squareds (R<sup>2</sup> ) that convey variance explained by terms in the model. An integrative framework for computing R-squareds in MLMs with random intercepts and/or slopes was recently introduced by Rights and Sterba and it subsumed pre-existing MLM R-squareds as special cases. However, this work focused on cross-sectional applications, and hence did not address how the computation and interpretation of MLM R-squareds are affected by modeling considerations typically arising in longitudinal settings: (a) alternative centering choices for time (e.g., centering-at-a-constant vs. person-mean-centering), (b) nonlinear effects of predictors such as time, (c) heteroscedastic level-1 errors and/or (d) autocorrelated level-1 errors. This paper addresses these gaps by extending the Rights and Sterba R-squared framework to longitudinal contexts. We: (a) provide a full framework of total and level-specific R-squared measures for MLMs that utilize any type of centering, and contrast these with Rights and Sterba's measures assuming cluster-mean-centering, (b) explain and derive which measures are applicable for MLMs with nonlinear terms, and extend the R-squared computation to accommodate (c) heteroscedastic and/or (d) autocorrelated errors. Additionally, we show how to use differences in R-squared (ΔR<sup>2</sup> ) measures between growth models (adding, for instance, time-varying covariates as level-1 predictors or time-invariant covariates as level-2 predictors) to obtain effects sizes for individual terms. We provide R software (r2MLMlong) and a running pedagogical example analyzing growth in adolescent self-efficacy to illustrate these methodological developments. With these developments, researchers will have greater ability to consider effect size when analyzing and predicting change using MLMs.</p>","PeriodicalId":47745,"journal":{"name":"New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development","volume":"2021 175","pages":"65-110"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/cad.20387","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25309369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the results also point to the need for further exploration of the nature of parental burnout in Africa.

Content validity is not fully addressed in these reports, so nuanced differences in the nature of parental burnout remain an interesting possibility. Variation the PBA's correlations with other measures, such as education and household type, suggests cultural mediation in the causes and dynamics of parental burnout. In the second part of our commentary, we address more directly whether parental burnout is influenced by the sociocultural context in which it is manifest. We propose that future research will benefit from more precise description of the particular cultural community involved, including the settings, customs, and ethnotheories of parenting.
