Demographic and clinical characteristics are displayed here for the full sample and for the healthy and anxious subsamples. Higher raw discrepancy scores (RDS) and standardized mean difference scores (SMDS) indicate higher scores for parents compared to their child. Higher absolute RDS (absRDS) and SMDS (absSMDS) indicate greater discrepancy regardless of the direction of discrepancy. Significant group differences between the healthy and anxious subsamples are noted
p < .05,
p < .01,
p < .001.
Information on highest parental education and household income was collected from n = 798 participants. These variables were assessed on ordinal scales: Highest parental education (1 = graduate professional degree, 2 = standard college graduation, 3 = partial college, 4 = high school graduation, 5 = partial high school, 6 = junior high school, 7 = less than 7 years of school); Household income (1 = Under $5,000, 2 = $5,000 – $9,999, 3 = $10,000 – $14,999, 4 = $15,000 – $24,999, 5 = $25,000 – $39,999, 6 = $40,000 – $59,999, 7 = $60,000 – $89,999, 8 = $90,000 – $179,999, 9 = Over $180,000).
IQ scores were collected from n = 974 participants.
FRFC scores were collected from n = 358 participants.
