| Sexual Activity | .60 | .52–.69 | < .001 | .54 | .32–.76 | < .001 |
Note. BPD = borderline personality disorder. All coefficients (Coeff.) standardized. Scores for Global Functioning (GAF) and Social Skills (both child and parent report) scales have been reversed so that higher scores on all scales reflect more impairment. Thus, coefficients across scales are directly comparable.
