  1. Notes: Parental knowledge is a standardized measure. Higher scores in parental knowledge indicate more knowledge. Anxiety range from 0 to 21 (scores of 5, 10 and 15 represent cut-off points for mild, moderate and severe anxiety, respectively). School achievement is a self-reported average grade ranging from 1 to 8. Correlation coefficients for the first generation are presented below the diagonal, and correlation coefficients for the second generation are presented above the diagonal
