Standardized coefficients appear above standard errors in parenthesis. All models are controlled for externalizing problems at wave 1, heritage language frequency at wave 1, age at wave 1, gender, immigrant generation, country of origin, and stratum. Family relations variables (family cohesion, parental warmth, parental monitoring) are centered around the country sample mean. See Tables 811 in Appendix for the table with full information by country

*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 (two-tailed tests)
