Note. In each analysis, the lagged predictor was group-mean centered at Level 1. To remove previous day effects, the first measurement of each day for the lagged variables was replaced with a missing value. At Level 1, the intercept reflects the average emotion rating and the slope reflects the average autocorrelation/inertia. At Level 2, self-esteem was grand centered. Here, the intercept reflects the association between self-esteem and the average emotion level across participants, and the slope reflects the association between self-esteem and the autocorrelation/inertia across participants.
