Table 2. Simple and Partial Correlations Linking Cognitive Factors (Ability and Inattention) With Peer Relations in First Grade.

	First Grade Peer Relations Nominations

Cognitive Factors	Like Most	Like Least
Simple Correlations
Cognitive Ability	.23^*	−.15^*
Inattention	−.35^**	.48^**
Partial Correlations
Ability/(Inattention)	.13^*	−.05
Inattention/(Ability)	−.33^**	.47^**

Note: In the partial correlations, inattention was partialled out of correlations between cognitive ability and behavior; ability was partialled out of correlations between inattention and behavior.
