Notes.
Educational attainment was measured by the last available emerging adult report.
Married status indicates being married at some point during the study’s longitudinal window and not subsequently divorced within the same longitudinal window.
Same letter footnotes indicate significant chi-square differences between groups at alpha p < .05.
Between gender differences within subsamples were not examined.
