* Number and percent of participants classified as low, medium, or high in each personality scale according to the observed distribution (1/3 each for all traits except psychoticism, where the observed distribution of values could only be categorized into 22%, 53%, and 26%, respectively); row percent sometimes do not add up to 100 due to rounding; N=9, N=10, N=9 missing values for depressive symptoms, anger control, and psychoticism, respectively; for number of missing information on the covariates see table 1
