Note: The number in the parenthesis is the sample size for the given correlation coefficient. The full sample is less than N=132 for certain association due to missing data (i.e., questionnaires that were not completed by the parent). This is also the reason why the N’s were less than 70 and 62 in certain analyses for girls and boys, respectively.
