Note: n = 1171. Gender was dummy coded as 0 (=female) and 1 (=male). FEL, father’s education level; MEL, mother’s education level; PA, peer attachment; AB, aggressive behavior. Father’s and mother’s education level were rated on a 4-point scale (“1 = primary school or below” to “4 = graduate degree”). POS, self-efficacy in expressing positive emotions; NEG, self-efficacy in managing negative emotions; SD, standard deviation. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
