Table 1.

Analysis of covariance of children’s fantasy-reality distinction scores across emotions, adjusted for verbal ability.

	Maltreated children, mean (standard error)	Low-income children, mean (standard error)	High-income children, mean (standard error)	F	p	η_p²
Real events
Neutral	.77 (.05)_a	.79 (.05)_a	.66 (.05)_a	1.22	.30	.017
Happy	.83 (.04)_a	.82 (.04)_a	.79 (.05)_a	.18	.84	.003
Frightening	.63 (.07)_a	.45 (.06)_b	.41 (.07)_b	3.13	.048	.044
Angry	.67 (.06)_a	.45 (.06)_b	.50 (.06)_a	3.86	.028	.052
Fantastic events
Neutral	.55 (.05)_a	.51 (.05)_a	.70 (.06)_b	4.30	.015	.059
Happy	.53 (.06)_a	.47 (.06)_a	.60 (.06)_a	1.40	.23	.021
Frightening	.65 (.06)_a	.72 (.05)_a	.84 (.06)_b	3.28	.04	.045
Angry	.62 (.06)_a	.71 (.06)_a	.67 (.06)_a	.78	.46	.011

Note. Higher scores indicate greater ability to judge that fantastic events cannot occur and real events can occur. Subscripts in the same row depicted significant group differences.
