Note: Discrim. = Discrimination; M –A Confl. = Mother-Adolescent Conflict; F-A Confl. = Father-Adolescent Conflict; FI = Friend Intimacy; G = Gender;
p < .05;
p < .01; Gender coded 0 = male, 1 = female; Nativity coded 0 = US-born, 1 = Mexico-born. -- = Construct not included in model. Pseudo R2 for Models 2 and 3 were estimated by comparing the residual variance in Model 2 (or 3) to the unconditional Model [Unconditional Model – Model 2 (or 3) / Unconditional Model]. Pseudo R2 for Models 4 and 5 were estimated by computing the following formula [Model 2 (or 3) – Model 4 (or 5) / Model 2 (or 3)].
