Note. The model allowed for quantitative sex differences in all outcomes and cross-paths and qualitative differences in pubertal status. Variance due to shared environmental effects in pubertal status was estimated at 0 and was subsequently fixed to 0. Female-restricted participants were off hormonal contraceptives, and in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle. Standard errors are shown in parentheses. All variables were residualized for sex-specific effects of age, age2, BMI, and race; hormonal outcomes were residualized for time since waking and analytic batch. Model implied correlations are not shown for parameters estimated at < .01.
