  1. B, unstandardized regression coefficient. SE, standard error of B. Sex, 1 = female, 0 = male. t, t-value. p, p-values for t-tests on regression coefficient and intercept. SES, parental socio-economic status. R2 and F-tests for differences to intercept-only models. Uncorrected p-values for estimates reflecting study hypotheses in bold, alpha-error corrected thresholds applied to indicate significance at ***p > .001, **p > .01, *p > .05
