Note. N = 406. School grades range from 0.0 (F) to 4.0 (A). Adjustment problem T-scores range from 25 to 100 (raw scores were used in analyses). Perceived scholastic competence scores and perceived behavioral conduct scores range from 1.0 (unfavorable perceptions) to 4.0 (favorable perceptions). Within rows, means with different subscripts differ significantly at p < .05 in post-hoc LSD tests.
