Note. Coefficients > .30 are in bold. Because of large sample sizes in Clinical and Student samples, very small coefficients were able to achieve statistical significance even at conservative Type I error rates (e.g., p < .001), so statistical significance is not indicated.

PAI = Personality Assessment Inventory. CES-D = Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. CTQ = Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. PDQ = Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire.
