Fig. 1From: Harsh discipline relates to internalizing problems and cognitive functioning: findings from a cross-sectional study with school children in TanzaniaSEM testing the indirect association (via internalizing problems) between harsh discipline, working memory and school performance.

Standardized maximum likelihood estimates (regression weights in bold and factor loadings in italics) are depicted; all paths are significant beyond .05. Error variables are omitted for clarity.
