Note. Gender is coded such that 0 = girls and 1 = boys; early intercourse is coded such that 0 = no sexual intercourse and 1 = completed sexual intercourse. Antisocial behavior and peer rejection were assessed in kindergarten through fourth grade. Delinquent behavior, self-esteem, and sexual intercourse were assessed in seventh grade. Verbal abuse by the teacher was assessed each year (kindergarten through seventh grade) For details on how each variable was assessed, see “Methods” section.
