Path models for pubertal timing to aggression. Each pathway controls for age. The bolded β value to the right of the backslash represents the association between pubertal timing and aggression, controlling for the mediator. For the model including primary control, total R2=0.16, and F (3, 96)=5.98, p<0.01. For the model including involuntary engagement, total R2=0.22, and F (3, 95)=39.04, p<0.001. Mediation could not occur for cortisol, given that it was not significantly associated with aggression. †p<0.10, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001
