Note: N = 370 for work condition associations. N = 368 for income associations. Personality in 2003 was regressed on Personality in 1994 and Work Conditions in 2001 using Ordinary Least Squares Regression analysis. Reported coefficients are standardized regression coefficients for the 2001 work variables. Boldface values are significant at p < .05. Standard error coefficients associated with all the work characteristics variables were .01. Standard error coefficients associated with income were all smaller than .00. Values in parentheses are R-squared coefficients for the entire regression model.
