Time 1 reflects measurement of child behavior at baseline; Time 2 reflects changes in child behavior from Time 1 to Time 2 (residualized Time 2 child behavior at 1-yr follow-up controlling for Time 1 child behavior). Child EAR behaviors and negative emotion words were log-transformed prior to analyses.
