The aim of the fifth model was to test the fifth hypothesis regarding adjacent cross domain hypothesized relations of the assessed behaviors in the current study from late childhood into adolescence. Thus, the fifth model evaluated whether externalizing problems at Waves 2 and 3 predicted CAD symptoms at Wave 3 and Wave 4, respectively. Similarly, relations between social competence at late childhood (Wave 2) and internalizing and externalizing in adolescence were evaluated. An additional aim was to determine whether a direct effect from child maltreatment status before age 8 to CAD symptoms would be observed after accounting for all of the indirect effects released up to model 5. Results suggested significant relations between externalizing problems and subsequent CAD symptoms, with Wave 2 externalizing predicting Wave 3 CAD (CR = 2.24, p < .05) symptoms and Wave 3 externalizing further contributing to Wave 4 CAD (CR = 4.38, p < .01) symptoms. In contrast, social competence at late childhood as well as internalizing problems at Wave 3 negatively predicted externalizing problem at late adolescence (CR = −2.32, p < .05; CR
