Note. Obs = observed frequency; Exp = expected frequency; agree = agreeableness; social = socialization; impulse = impulsivity; comply = compliance; control = self-control; aggress = aggression. Within age groups, one-way configurai frequency analysis (CFA) chi-squares identified profiles with observed frequencies that were greater (types) or less (antitypes) than expected frequencies (p < .05). Across age groups, one-way CFA chi-squares identified linkages between childhood profiles and adulthood profiles in which observed frequencies were greater (types) or less (antitypes) than expected frequencies.
