The level-2 variance component in the model was estimated initially; however, the Hessian matrix was not positive definite due to lack of variation between classrooms. Therefore, the level-2 variance component was set at zero and the model re-estimated

^aGender was coded as: “0” girls and “1” boys

^b“Swedish adolescents” was defined as reference category
