Two teachers separately completed three items assessing the degree to which the adolescent got along with and was accepted by other adolescents. Items included “Would majority of kids in child's class say they really don't like this child” and “Would majority of kids in child's class say this child has a lot of problems?” Both reports were combined into a summary scale (reliability α = .77). To facilitate the imposition of equality constraints across paths, this scale was reversed in the analyses.
