Note. Predictors are MZ's relative difference scores for the respective measure. Significant predictors with p-values below .05 and CI (95%) excluding 0, are shown in bold. B = unstandardized estimates; β = standardized estimates; S.E. = Standard Error. Model estimates are based on FIML with N = 2,280 MZ pairs.
