reactivity slopes (β1i) vary by race. δ00 and δ10 are the average within-person intercept and the daily family stressor effect (i.e., the fixed effects), and U0i is the person-specific deviations from the intercept (i.e., random effect). δ10 and δ11 are the Level 2 effects and reflect racial differences in the average levels of well-being and the within-person daily family stressor effects. It is important to note that the within- and between-person family stressor effects were created using grand-mean centering. As such, δ02 is the person-mean frequency of family stressors across the 8-day diary period, and reflects a context effect, or the incremental prediction of individual differences in family stressors over and above the day-level prediction (c.f., Hoffman & Stawski, 2009). The between-person effect of family stressors can be obtained by simply adding this context effect to the level 1 family stressor effect. In the remainder of the paper, we will only report the between-person effects for ease of clarity and interpretation.
