Figure 1. From: Theory of Mind and Emotion Understanding Predict Moral Development in Early Childhood.

This figure provides a summary of the results from hierarchical regression analyses that assessed how well perspective-taking variables predicted children’s moral reasoning. This is not a report of structural equation modeling; it is a descriptive summarization. In these regression analyses, predictor variables were entered chronologically–Wave 1 perspective-taking variables were entered in the first step, followed by Wave 2 perspective-taking variables in the second step. Regressions were run first without covariates, and were then run including Wave 1 IQ, Wave 2 IQ, and inhibitory in the first step. The interaction effect was entered as the final step of each regression. Numbers correspond to standardized beta weights (numbers in parentheses refer to standardized beta weights after accounting for Wave 1 IQ, Wave 2 IQ, and Wave 2 inhibitory control). Broken lines reflect negative relationships. p < .07, *p < .05, **p .01.
