Impact of reading performance (DDE-2, Sartori et al., 2007) on Stress Perception parameters in the DD group.

		Overall Consistency score	Duration	Intensity	Pitch
Words	Accuracy	r = 0.594, p = 0.013	r = 0.196, p = 0.251	r = −0.133, p = 0.675	r = 0.666, p = 0.005
	Speed (sec/syll)	r = -0.788, p < 0.001	r = -0.734, p = 0.001	r = −0.232, p = 0.203	r = −0.447, p = 0.047
Non-words	Accuracy	r = 0.544, p = 0.027	r = 0.089, p = 0.386	r = −0.351, p = 0.88	r = 0.803, p < 0.001
	Speed (sec/syll)	r = -0.636, p = 0.007	r = −0.415, p = 0.07	r = −0.175, p = 0.275	r = −0.417, p = 0.069

Partial correlations are reported controlling for the contributions by Age and CoSiMo scores (when significant). All p-values are one-tailed in the expected direction (the worse the reading performance, the worse the performance on stress perception). Significant correlations are reported in bold.
