For CONT vs. EXT status, three of six effects for anger were significant (an additional effect was nearly significant). For CONT versus CO status, all six effects were significant. Mother-, father-, and teacher-designated EXT or CO status was predicted by high anger. CONT versus EXT status was not predicted by T1 or T3 sadness. However, CO vs. CONT status was predicted by sadness in two of six analyses at T1 and three of six analyses at T3.
