Pearson Correlation Coefficients between Measures of Fearful Temperament and Stress Reactivity

CortAUC	PEP response	VT response
Fearful Temperament	−.01	−.15†	.18*
Stranger Fear	.01	−.12	.12
Risk Room Fear	−.10	−.17*	.07
CBQ Shyness	.04	−.05	.18*
CBQ Fear	.08	.10	.03

Note. Fearful Temperament was the standardized and averaged sum of the observational and parent reported measures. Because children who had never seen the fear video before exhibited larger VT responses, associations with VT response were recomputed without these children. The correlation with Fearful Temperament was r(101) = −.18, p < .07, while the correlation with Risk Room Fear was r(101) = −.20, p < .05.
