The t-test for independent samples revealed no significant differences between the two groups regarding the self-report measures of interoception, BAQ: t 38) = −0.70, p = 0.24; PBCS: t 38) = −0.08, p = 0.47; MAIA: t 38) = −0.61, p = 0.27.
Given non-significant differences between parent proxy reports and significant differences between self-reports, the additional discrimination of QoL measures in addition to the parent reported CBCL could simply be interpreted as a result of the self-report perspective.
