Note 1. Values are standardized coefficients with standard errors in parentheses. Superscript a indicates that all the coefficients in the row are statistically significant at p <. 001. Superscript ns indicates no statistical significance.
p < .001,
p < .01,
p <.05.
Note 2. The subscripts p, k, 1, 2, and 3 denote pre-k, kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade, respectively. The Ep to E3 and Ip to I3 denote factor loadings of observed externalizing and internalizing scores on the latent stability/trait of over-time externalizing and internalizing problems, respectively. The Epk to E23 and Ipk to I23 indicate autoregressive paths from one time to the next for externalizing and internalizing problems, respectively. The IEpk to IE23 indicate cross-lagged effects of internalizing problems at each time point on externalizing problems at the immediately subsequent time point. The EIpk to EI23 indicate cross-lagged effects of externalizing problems at each time point on internalizing problems at the immediately subsequent time point. The EIpp indicates correlations between externalizing and internalizing at pre-k. The EI11 to EI33 indicate correlated residuals at subsequent time points.
