Note. All coefficients are significant at p < .001.

^a

Correlation for Age 30-50 differs from correlation for Age 50-65, p < .05.

^b

Correlation for Age 50-65 differs from correlation for Age > 65, p < .05.

^c

Correlation for Age 30-50 differs from correlation for Age > 65, p < .05. GZTS = Guilford Zimmermann Temperament Survey.
