Note. Results are shown for Sample A / Sample B / Sample C. Habitual emotion judgments were assessed on a scale ranging from 1 to 7. --=Too little variability to assess in this sample. Significant associations (p<.05) are shown in bold. Marginal associations (p<.06) are noted with †. Positive ds reflect higher means for men compared to women and European Americans compared to Asian Americans.
