p<.001. Correlations in bold are convergent validity coefficients, tests of association between scales of similar (internalizing vs. externalizing) content. Correlations not in bold are discriminant validity coefficients. Z-values shown in column 4 test the significance of the difference between convergent and discriminant coefficients.
