Note. All predictors were assessed at the study baseline wave. Each predictor was examined in a separate structural equation model to minimize collinearity and model complexity. Sample sizes for maltreatment, temperament, and GAF analyses were 604, 666, and 668, respectively. SE = standard error. GAF = global assessment of functioning.

Beta values for maltreatment variables were y-standardized, such that they reflect the expected change in standard units in the outcome per one unit increment in predictors. All other beta values reflect completely standardized structural paths.
