“…Cross-lagged panel models with longitudinal data provide a way to test the reciprocal relationship between life satisfaction and perceived social justice change over time. It allows for inferences of causality by comparing the relative effect of the two variables on each other across time (Wu et al, 2018), and reduces the probable parameter bias that cross-sectional data arises through the inclusion of the effect of the dependent variable at the previous time (Selig and Preacher, 2009).…”

It has been well established that life satisfaction is related to perceived social justice. However, current theories provide contrary assumptions on the direction of the influence. In this research, we use data from two longitudinal surveys collected in China to test the reciprocal relations between life satisfaction and perceived social justice over time. With a random intercept cross-lagged panel model, we disaggregate the between-person effect and the within-person effect of the relationship. To specify the conditions of the effect, we consider income levels as the moderator. Study 1 (N = 119) showed that on the between-person level, life satisfaction, and perceived social justice are positively correlated. On the within-person level, cross-lagged effect results showed that an individuals’ deviations from their expected score in life satisfaction predict deviations from their expected perceived social justice at the next time point, while deviations from expected perceived social justice does not predict subsequent deviations from expected life satisfaction. In study 2 (N = 637), we divided participants into three groups based on their household income and conducted a multiple group analysis to test its moderation effect. We found that the between-person correlation of life satisfaction and perceived social justice is not moderated by income level, and it is significant in all the three groups. However, the within-person cross-lagged effect is moderated by income level, and the effect of life satisfaction on perceived social justice only exists in the low income group. This research confirms the unidirectional relationship between life satisfaction and perceived social justice across time, and clarifies the effect in different levels and income groups, providing new insights on the formation of justice perception. It is recommended that future studies apply experimental designs to reach causal effects and explore more possible moderators and mediators.

“…Antecedents of the work–caregiving interface have previously been reported to have small-to-medium effect sizes (e.g., Boumans & Dorant, 2014 ; Fujihara et al, 2019 ). Therefore, a sample size of approximately 395 participants for cross-sectional analysis and at least 200 participants for longitudinal analysis ( Wu et al, 2018 ) was considered to provide adequate power.…”

“…The longitudinal mediational effect of enrichment was examined using significant indicators from the cross-sectional SEM. A random-effects cross-lagged panel model (RE-CLPM; Wu et al, 2018 ) was used to examine four parameters: Wave 1 independent variable on Wave 2 mediational variable (“a1”); Wave 2 mediational variable on Wave 3 dependent variable (“b2”); direct effect of Wave 1 independent variable on Wave 3 dependent variable when the mediational variable effect was partialled out (“c”); and the product of the “a1” and “b2” path (“a1b2”), which represented the indirect effect of Wave 1 independent variable on Wave 3 dependent variable. Significance of “a1b2” indicated a longitudinal mediational effect.…”

Objectives Despite evidence of negative aspects of the work–caregiving interface (e.g., work–family conflict) among family caregivers of people with dementia (PWD), little is known about the positive aspects (e.g., enrichment). We examined antecedents and outcomes of family-to-work enrichment (FWE) and work-to-family enrichment (WFE) among working family caregivers of PWD. In terms of antecedents, we investigated whether factors that alleviated work–family conflict increased enrichment. Method We conducted a three-wave 6-month-interval longitudinal online survey of Japanese working family caregivers of PWD (N = 747). We examined the mediational effects of WFE and FWE on associations between participants’ work resources (job control, supervisor support, co-worker support, and organizational support) and caregiving support and their well-being (psychological distress and quality of life). We also examined the moderating effect of caregiving self-efficacy on the relationships between caregiving support/caregiving demands and FWE. Results Our longitudinal analysis confirmed supervisor support had a positive effect on WFE. FWE had no significant longitudinal mediating effect on the association between caregiving support and well-being, and self-efficacy had no longitudinal moderating effect on FWE. Discussion Supervisor support is important for WFE, but greater enrichment does not necessarily improve family caregiver well-being. Caregiving experience (i.e., caregiving demands and caregiving support) has little effect on the work–caregiving interface. Policy makers should focus on supporting companies to create family-friendly work environments. More research is needed on factors that increase FWE and moderate the relationship between enrichment and working family caregivers’ well-being.

“…Power was considered for these analyses based on a previous simulation of CLPMs by Wu and colleagues ( 29 ) demonstrating that a sample of 500 was sufficient to study mediation across three cross‐lagged waves of data, a power of 0.80, type I error robust to 0.025 to 0.075, and a ratio of exposure mediator to mediator‐outcome effects of 0.30, yielding Akaike's information criterion of over 0.80. Based on a sample size above 1200, it is anticipated that our analyses were adequately powered.…”

Short‐ and Long‐Term Reciprocal Bone‐Muscle Relationships in the Upper and Lower Extremity of Afro‐Caribbean Men by DXA: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Tobago Bone Health Study

et al. 2020

Little is known about the time course of muscle-bone effects and whether a reciprocal clinical effect of bone on muscle is present. We hypothesized that lean mass (LM) measures at the arms and legs have a stronger relationship with BMD measured within the same region than the reciprocal effect. The Tobago Bone Health Study was used to address this hypothesis, examining body composition data from total body DXA scans obtained at 0, 48-, and 120-month visits. A longitudinal analysis of LM, LM/height 2 (LMI), and LM/BMI was conducted at the upper and lower extremities separately, in relation to BMD within the corresponding region. A cross-lagged panel model was used to study pathways from 0 to 120 months for muscle-bone and bone-muscle effects within the same visit, and across each lagged period. Models accounted for age, height, weight, race, arthritis, prior nontraumatic fracture after age 40, number of units of alcohol consumed per week, current smoking, diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, amount of walking in the last week, grip strength, and hospitalizations. Significant models demonstrating parsimony, and meeting absolute and relative fit criteria were retained. Among 1286 Afro-Caribbean men (mean age: 53 AE 9 years, BMI: 27.43 AE 4.23 kg/m 2) with data available for all visits, LM, LMI, and LM/BMI had modest contemporaneous relationships with BMD, which dissipated with lagged time. The size of these effects was stronger at the legs than at the arms. These lagged effects were primarily mediated through indirect same time-point muscle-bone relations rather than a true directly lagged effect. Bone density showed only a small effect on LM arm measures across lagged time, but this was impossible to tease-out from same time-point relations. These results suggest muscle-bone relationships are not long-lasting at least beyond 48 months. Efforts to maintain muscle and bone strength should focus on shorter-term interventions. More studies are needed with serial bone-muscle imaging over shorter periods.
