Notes.

Betas (standard error) are reported in the table. The levels were adjusted for age, gender, parent’s education level and majority ethnicity for that country (US: white vs. other; Russia: Russian vs. other); possible intra-school correlations were modeled in mixed models.

Variables standardized (mean = 0; std = 1).
