Note. MANCOVA analyses run with SES entered as a covariate. SES based on parental occupational prestige. Parent report Surgency = Surgency subscale of the EATQ-R; Parent report NA = Negative Affectivity subscale of the EATQ-R; Parent report EC = EATQ-R; Child report PA = Positive Affect on the PANAS; Child report NA = Negative Affect on the PANAS; Child report EC = child-report of Distractibility on the ECS.
