Note. Each line shows correlations from one study, except for the last two lines which show the results of the meta-analysis and mega-analysis. Each correlation is the correlation between scores from a standard questionnaire assessment of the trait and the means of individuals' density distributions of corresponding states in everyday behavior. It can be interpreted as the correlation between how individuals report acting in general on a questionnaire and how they act on average in a few days of their everyday lives. N's varied across studies from 12 to 63 participants and 9.8 to 169.9 reports per participant.
