Regression analyses of pre- and early adolescents’ mental health problems and subjective social status (SSS), with tests of SSS X age interactions. Model (1) estimates the association between SSS and mental health outcomes while controlling for family economic disadvantage, neighborhood income, school economic disadvantage, local inequality, age, gender, race, and urbanicity (covariates not tabulated here). Model (2) adds an interaction term between age and SSS. Poisson regressions were used to account for the count distribution of mental health problems. Coefficients are exponentiated to create incident rate ratios (IRR); all models estimated with robust standard errors. Significance levels:

p < .05;

p < .01;
