Note. Values outside parentheses are means, inside are standard deviations; values on the maternal interactive behavior scales are percentages of time the behavior was engaged in; values on the sensitivity scale are based on raw scores.

^aFor univariate F-tests, degrees of freedom are (2, 253).

^bBonferroni-corrected.

^*p < .05;

^tp = .06;

^ttp = .07.
