x

Scores were compared between girls and boys from different families, and different subscripts within column are significantly different, p < .05.

y

Scores were compared between girls and boys from different families, and different subscripts within column are significantly different, p < .05.

a

Scores with different subscripts within row are significantly different, p < .05.

b
