Note. (P) = Parent rating; (T) = Teacher rating. Am=American; Eth=Ethnic. Eng Comp=English language competence. Gender and poverty status were dichotimized variables (coded as 0/1). All other continuous predictors were centered at the mean. Model 1 did not control for demographic factors, but similar results were found when including demographic factors as covariates. Model 2 also included main effects of poverty, child gender, and familismo (estimates not shown). Model 3 also included main effects of maternal US American identity, maternal ethnic identity, maternal English language competence, and familismo (estimates not shown).
