Text

Sex differences in the correlations and the prevalence of one or more yes answers were tested cross-sectionally by model fitting in Mx (version 3.2) (Neale et al. 2006). In a multigroup analysis of five zygosity by sex groups, qualitative and quantitative sex differences in the correlations were tested for by constraining the correlations to be equal over sex. To examine sex differences in the prevalence, a sex effect on the threshold was tested for significance. The fit of the restricted models was compared to that of the full model using the likelihood ratio test.
