Independent Samples T-tests Comparing Total Number of Positive Contexts and Mean Levels of Positive Experiences within Family, Peer, and School Contexts Between Adolescents with Spina Bifida and Typically Developing Adolescents at Time 4 and Time 5

SB = spina bifida group; TD = typically developing group

Note: Total Number of Positive Contexts and Family, Peer, and School Context variables are on different metric scales. Total Number Positive Contexts range from “0” to “3”; Family, Peer, and School Context are z-scores ranging from negative to positive.
