Note. Bold-faced entries are significant at the p<.001 level. General externalizing (gen), aggression (agg), and substance (sub) factor scores were estimated using maximum likelihood based on parameters of the two-subfactor hierarchical (bifactor) model. ESI_DIS = item-based general externalizing (disinhibition) factor score. ESI_AGG Θ and ESI_SUB Θ denote residual variance in item-based factor subscale scores after accounting for variance associated with IRT-based maximum likelihood estimates of ESI_DIS. PEM = positive emotionality; NEM = negative emotionality; CON = constraint
