Only significant DEFS or EF test predictors shown. SCL-90-R = Symptom Checklist 90 – Revised. DEFS = Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale. EF = executive functioning. WCST = Wisconsin Card Sort Test. Analyses are for linear multiple regression with stepwise entry. Beta = Standardized Beta Coefficient from the final model, R = Regression coefficient, R2 = Percent of explained variance accounted for by all variables at this step, R2 Δ (Change) = Percent of explained variance accounted for by this variable added at this step, F = F to Change results, p = probability value for the F-test.
