Note: Values in the table represent means unless otherwise noted. Numbers in parentheses are standard deviations. Means and standard deviations of men’s and women’s antisocial behavior were not included in the table. This is because the antisocial behavior construct consisted of self-report and partner report, as well as observational data, and these indicators were standardized to be mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1 before they were combined to get the final construct score.
