Notes. Girls were coded as 0s and boys were coded as 1s. Correlations are based on the full sample of 912 youth except for correlations with positive friendship quality or friendship conflict, which were computed using the reduced sample of 318. Correlations based on the full sample of 912 youth of .07 or greater were significant (p < .05). Correlations based on the sample of 318 youth of .12 or greater were significant (p < .05).
