Note. All Pearson and multiple correlations were statistically significant at p < .01.

R = multiple correlation when act composite was regressed onto the NEO-PI-R Big Five domain scores simultaneously. E = Extraversion, A = Agreeableness, C = Conscientiousness, N = Neuroticism, O = Openness to Experience.
