Note: MFT = mother, father, and teacher composite; MF = mother and father composite; EC = effortful control; Ext Prob = externalizing problems;. Rel. Agg. = relational aggression. The horizontal measures were the dependent variables and the vertical measures were centered and used as the predictor in the mixed model analyses.
