Note. Correlations for girls are depicted above the diagonal, and correlations for boys are depicted below the diagonal. Correlations computed using FIML.

a

0 = U.S.; 1 = Other.

b

0 = English; 1 = Spanish.

c

0 = Married/living together. 1 = Other.

d

0 = boy; 1 = girl. Bolded values indicate that correlations are statistically significant at p ≤ .05.
