Path model depicting direct relationships for deprivation, threat, verbal abilities. SES, and externalizing/internalizing problems. The indirect effect of deprivation to externalizing problems via verbal abilities is significant, beta = 0.15. 95% CI [0.04, 0.30]. The indirect effect of threat to externalizing problems via verbal abilities is nonsignificant, beta = 0.07, 95% CI (−0.05, 0.28]. This model adjusts for the covariance of deprivation and threat, socioeconomic status (SES) and verbal abilities, and externalizing and internalizing problems, and controls for sex.
