Variables. Age (centered); Ethnicity (dichotomized with weighted effect size: Indigenous Australian = −0.54; non-Indigenous Australian = 0.46); SES (centered); Offender Status (dichotomized with weighted effect coding: Youth offender = 0.38; Non-offender = −0.62); CU Traits (ICU total scale score; centered); Anxiety (YSR anxious-depressed sub-scale score; centered); Language: Structural (CELF-4, Core Language Score; centered); Pragmatic (TASIT, Social Inference Minimal, sum of scores; centered)
