Correlations Among Informant Characteristics, Mothers’ and Children's Depressive Symptoms, and Mother-Child Rating Discrepancies (i.e., SDS) of MRB for the Total Sample (N = 335)

Variable	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
1. MRB–Child Disclosure SDS	—	.57***	.41***	.21***	−.21***	−.20***	.08	.06	−.01
2. MRB–Parental Knowledge SDS		—	.39***	.22***	−.20***	−.14**	−.03	−.02	−.05
3. MRB–Parental Solicitation SDS			—	.15**	−.04	.00	.03	.00	.02
4. CDI total score				—	.10	.03	.06	.02	−.14**
5. BSI–Depression subscale score					—	.43***	−.04	.00	−.03
6. LSS–Average Severity of Mother's Stressors score						—	.03	−.10	−.10
7. Child age							—	.00	.02
8. Child gender								—	.02
9. Child ethnicity									—

Note. SDS = standardized difference scores; MRB = monitoring-relevant behaviors; CDI = Child Depression Inventory; BSI = Brief Symptom Inventory; LSS = Life Stresses Scale. Child gender was coded as 0 = male, 1 = female. Child ethnicity was coded as 0 = African American, 1 = all other ethnicities.
