Table 3.

Parameter estimates and standard errors (in parentheses) of mean linear growth factors of SCL over 3 years, the effects of child-reported anger/aggression, mother-reported behavior problems, child sex, race, and the interaction of sex and race on these growth factors, the residual variance of the growth factors, and the amount of variance predicted in each growth factor, controlling for the change in SES and puberty (N = 251).
