Note. a Standardized regression coefficients; significant results are in boldface; ΔR2 = .195 for SES in adolescence among females; ΔR2 = .023 for total screen time among females; ΔR2 = .022 for physical inactivity among females; ΔR2 = .260 for SES in adolescence among males; ΔR2 = .013 for total screen time among males; ΔR2 = .025 for physical inactivity among males.
