Note. mos = months; child race was coded as 0 = White and 1 = Black; child sex was coded as 0 = female and 1 = male; state was coded as 0 = PA and 1 = NC; for coefficients where maternal sensitivity predicting the intercept and the slope of EF, differing subscripts within rows indicate significantly different coefficients at p < .05; unstandardized results are found in the supplemental materials section.
