Effect is considered significant if the 95% confidence interval does not contain zero. PC = primary caregiver report. AC = alternate caregiver report. TR = teacher report. Opp/Agg = Oppositional/Aggressive score derived from the Child Behavior Checklist. Only paths in Figure 1 related to the study hypotheses are provided. Indirect effects and notable significant regressions from covariates on endogenous variables are provided in text. Comprehensive results of the path model are available by request from the first author.
