Note. Each symptom was rated on a 6-point scale. The full Child and Adolescent Behavior Inventory (CABI) measure is available from the corresponding author. Partial standardized regression coefficients can be larger than one with cross-loadings and correlated factors. ADHD = attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. ADHD-IN = attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder inattention. SCT = sluggish cognitive tempo.
p < .05;
