a

All correlations are statistically significant, p< 0.0001

b

Percentage of overall correct classification (i.e., hit ratio). Press’ Q was significant, p< 0.001 for all the classification results

c

Defined by CBCL national norm, and “clinical” includes sample whose scores fall into eithear borderline clinical or clinical ranges
