State Transition Linking Early Material Hardship Trajectories to Child Self-Regulation Profiles across Childhood: A Longitudinal Study Among Socioeconomic Diverse Families

Latent Class Transition examined the longitudinal developmental trajectories of material hardship to self-regulation profiles among socioeconomic and racially diverse families. Results suggested that children with decreasing as well as low material hardship trajectories had the highest probability of transitioning to the increasing SR class (45.7% and 52.8%, respectively).
