NOTE: Maternal and paternal support are derived from the Network of Relationships Inventory. Perceived friendship quality is a composite variable formed from the Friendship Quality Questionnaire–Revised subscales of companionship and recreation, validation and caring, help and guidance, intimate disclosure, and conflict resolution. Global self-worth and perceived social competence are derived from the Harter SPPC. Internalizing problems is a composite of mother-reported internalizing behavior and peer-nominated shyness and withdrawal; externalizing problems is a composite of mother-reported externalizing behavior and peer-nominated aggression. Mother-reported internalizing and externalizing behavior are the broadband scales of the Child Behavior Checklist. Peer-nominated behaviors are the average standardized proportion of nominations (within sex and classroom) received for behavioral descriptions of aggression, shyness and withdrawal, and rejection and victimization.
