Notes: #Some ToP items were scored “not applicable” for some children; as a result, the following ToP items did not have enough data for analysis: Enters (S), Persists (I), Engages in playful mischief or teasing (S), Pretends (S), Creative (I), Negotiates (S), and Clowns or jokes (S); IQR = interquartile range; Friedman’s two-way ANOVA; post hoc pairwise comparison tests. p: adjusted value after post hoc Dunn-Bonferroni test; —: test did not run as the mean rank values were identical; .
