p < .01.
Prop. times secure = proportion of times secure in early infancy, Bayley Scales of Infant Dev. = Bayley Scales of Infant development. Child gender: 1 = male; 2 = female. Child ethnicity: 0 = non-white; 1 = white, non-Hispanic.
N = 555 for these regressions, after listwise deletion of cases with any missing data for predictor sets.
