Note. C = Child report, M =Mother report. The upper triangle presents the correlations of Mexican American (U.S. born) daughters (N = 263). The lower triangle presents the correlations of Mexican immigrant (Mexico born) daughters (N = 99). Two dummy variables represented the three categories of mother’s education level (Mom’s Edu. 1: did not complete versus college or higher; Mom’s Edu. 2: high school versus college or higher). Descriptive statistics were based on the average of imputed datasets. Therefore, standard benchmarks to assess effect sizes (0.10 = small; 0.30 = medium; 0.50 = large) were used (Cohen, 1991).
