Note. Bold suggests convergent validity; only correlations >.40 were deemed adequate evidence of convergent validity. PROMIS EC = Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Early childhood; CBCL = Child Behavior Checklist; ITSEA = Infant Toddler Social Emotional Assessment; BITSEA = Brief-ITSEA.
