Table 1.

Intercorrelations, means, and standard deviations among the main study variables. Correlations based on adults’ responses are presented above the diagonal, and correlations based on children’s responses are presented below the diagonal. The correlations presented in the diagonal reflect the degree of parent-child agreement on the measures examined.
