All means and standard errors reported for singletons and twins reflect marginal means after adjusting for shared family variance using individual nested independent samples t-tests for each demographic variable. Participant and partner education were both measured on a seven-point scale (1 = did not complete high school, 2 = high school diploma, 3 = Some college, 4 = Associate's degree, 5 = Bachelor's degree, 6 = Master's or professional degree, 7 = Doctorate). Family income was measured on a 13-point scale (1 ≤ $10 000, 2 = $10 000–19 999, 3 = $20 000–29 999, 4 = $30 000–39 000, 5 = $40 000–49 999, 6 = $50 000–59 9999, 7 = $60 000–69 999, 8 = $70 000–79 999, 9 = $80 000–89 999, 10 = $90 000–99 999, 11 = $100 000–149 000, 12 = $150 000–199 999, 13 = $200 000 or more).
