1. W1 age .74*** .00 .06 −.10 .04 −.03 .19 .03 −.02 −.06
2. W1 pubertal status .64*** .68*** .37*** .15 .21 .11 .27* .25* .22 .17
3. W1 pubertal timing .00 .77*** .50*** .34** .28* .20 .19 .34** .35** .32**
4. W1 perceived timing −.02 .12 .19 .20 .31* .28* .17 .37** .39** .26*

7. W2 chronic peer stress −.13 −.01 .10 −.25 .70*** .44*** .53*** .52*** .58*** .44***

10. W2 depression −.24* −.02 .18 −.30* .26* .29* .59*** .40*** .42*** .82***
11. W2 residualized depression −.15 .15 .32** −.15 −.14 .09 .18 .20 −.31** .66***

Note: W1, Wave 1; W2, Wave 2. Correlations for girls are above the diagonal, and correlations for boys are below the diagonal. Total numbers (N) range from 66 to 82 for girls and from 56 to 76 for boys, because participants did not complete the perceived pubertal timing rating or did not complete W2 stress or depression interviews.
