Note. n = 1000 in all cases except the column labeled Two Bags Task Total Score where n = 900 to 950. Values are standardized regression coefficients from models that adjust for the child, family, community and child care covariates listed in Appendix A (included in online supplementary material). Each cell represents a separate regression, with the child outcome listed in the row and the focal predictor listed in the column. Results weighted by the ECLS-B sampling weight.

^aFordichotomous outcomes, values are changes in predicted probabilities for a one standard deviation increase in the predictor of interest, centered at the mean, with all covariates at their means.

^*p <.05.
