Note: N = 140. Dependent variable = mean composite of psychopathology, internalizing, and externalizing behaviors at 23, 26, 32, and 39 years. Total Abuse/Neglect Exposure = sum of abuse and neglect experiences from birth to 17.5 years. Child Biological Sex = child’s biological sex at birth coded as 1 = female, 0= male; Child Ethnicity = child’s ethnicity coded as 1 = White/non-Hispanic, 0 = non-White; Maternal Education = maternal education from 3 months before birth to 16 years; Caregiver SES = caregiver occupational prestige from 42 months to 16 years.
