Note: Values represent means and standard deviations. Overall, pubertal groups differed in age, F(1, 87) = 56.01, p < .000, but not IQ, F(1,87) = 2.56, p > .05. Similar patterns held for each sex. Early-to-mid pubertal males and females were similar in age and IQ. In late puberty, males were marginally older, F(1,53) = 3.46, p = .07.
