Note. For each set of analyses n = 521; df= 8, 512. Covariates in the analyses were age, sex, family income, and race. For the regression model using 7th grade global functioning as the independent variable, dichotomized score indicating low 6th grade global functioning (CIS > 15) was also used as a covariate.
†
Lower scores indicate higher social competence.
