Note: C = child assessed; COIMP = coder impressions; HOME = home inventory; O = observed; P = parent reported; T = teacher reported; RACS = relationship affect coding system. Bold indicates stability in constructs. Results presented are based on full information maximum likelihood (FIML) in Mplus. There were comparable zero-order associations using listwise deletion.
