*P<.05, **P<.01; ToM=Theory of Mind; ADHD=Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Assessed earlier than age 12 phase of data collection. ToM was assessed at age 5 as a measure of specific developmental milestones associated with perspective-taking that occur around that age. Self-control was a composite of teacher, mother, and self-report information across multiple phases from age 5-10.

Note: Each column presents estimates from separate models where general victimization from age 12-18 is regressed on each cognitive/psychological factor individually. All models adjust for prior polyvictimization and birth order.
