Descriptive Statistics and Correlations among Variables

5. Toddler inhibited temperamenta	0.01	0.83	−1.02 – 2.76				--

Note. Maternal intrusiveness and toddler inhibited temperament are composites of standardized variables (Z-scores). Maternal cortisol reactivity represents the raw residuals from a regression in which post-visit cortisol values were regressed on pre- visit values, time of day, and maternal asthma medication status. Descriptive statistics report the raw values of maternal embarrassment; correlations use the square root transformed variable.
