Note. No significant group differences were found on FAD scales. Clinical cut-off scores for FAD scales are as follows: Problem Solving = 2.20; Communication=2.20; Roles=2.30; Affective Responsiveness=2.20; Affective Involvement=2. 10; Behavior Control=1.90; General Functioning=2.00. Means presented are estimated marginal means; Covariates appearing in the model were evaluated at the following values: income = .51, marital status = .66.
