Myrte investigates the relation between depression in a mother and problematic behavior in the child. She suspects the positive relationship between the two variables to be weaker as the mothers have higher self-control.
Which type of multivariate relationships fits this expectation?
The strength of the relationship between depression in a mother and problematic behaviour in the child does not disappear when there is a statistical control for self-control of the mother. In contrast, the relationship weakens as the mothers have higher self-control. In other words, the strength of the relationship depends on how the mother scores on self-control.
