We examined residual correlations between the predicted and observed correlation matrix to identify unexplained relations. Only one stood out: performance on the two-back task (working memory) was negatively related to fighting, r = −.20, p < .01. Apparently this relation was unique to this measure of working memory and to fighting as none of the other risk behaviors was correlated with any of the working memory scores apart from what was explained in the model.
