Note. Socioeconomic status was a composite of Z-scored income and maternal education. Inhibited temperament variables and maternal anxiety variables were means of Z-scored components. Levene’s test for equality of variances was non-significant (p > .05) in all cases. T1 = Time 1. T2 = Time 2. Retained families versus families lost to attrition did not differ according to toddler biological sex (χ2[l] = 0.21, p = .649).
