CES-D: Centre for Epidemiological studies-Depression Scale; JTCI: The Junior Temperament and Character Inventory; NS: Novelty Seeking; HA: Harm Avoidance; RD: Reward Dependence; P: Persistence; SD: Self-Directedness; CO: Cooperativeness; ST: Self-Transcendence. For age, gender, and the evaluation of the ΔF statistic: ***P ≤ .001, and **P < .01, and *P < .05. For the JTCI domains where Bonferroni adjustments were made on the critical α, ****P < .0071.
