For females, the CDC correlated significantly and positively with CBCL INT (p < .05) and TOT T (p < .01) scores, but not with the EXT T score. Significant and positive correlations for males were obtained between all specific CBCL factors and the CDC (all p < .005). For females. CDC scores correlated significantly with specific internalizing factors purported to measure depression...
