Values are based on results at the final step of the regression model. Sex is coded −.5= males, +.5= females.

^aThe non-significant sex by negative affect interaction was trimmed from the model predicting negative emotionality.

^bPreliminary analyses indicated a significant interaction between sex and mother’s provision of support for the model predicting externalizing symptoms.
