†
Sex, marital status, health concerns and appearance concerns are dichotomous variables, all other variables are (treated as) continuous variables. Pearson product-moment correlations (r) are displayed for correlations between continuous variables, point-biserial correlations (r pb) are displayed for correlations between dichotomous and continuous variables, and phi coefficients (r φ) are displayed for correlations between two dichotomous variables.
