Values are based on results at the final step of the regression model. Gender is coded −.5= males, +.5= females.
a
The non-significant gender by negative affect interaction was trimmed from the model predicting negative emotionality.
b
Preliminary analyses indicated significant interactions between gender and father’s provision of support for the models predicting internalizing and externalizing symptoms.
