Note: N = 376 for partial correlations. Boldface correlations are statistically significant at the p < .05 level. Associations between 1994 SES and GPA and other variables are zero-order correlations. We also tested the associations between Personality Traits and 2001 Work Conditions. The patterns of association are similar to the averaged work condition values included in the tables. The specific-year associations are available upon request.
