Note:

BFI self-reports are aggregated factor scores from two administrations of this measure approximately three years apart.

^b,c

Aggregated scores derived from BFI, SMM, and 39 child items. SIFFM = Structured Interview for the Five Factor Model; BFI = Big Five Inventory; SMM = Saucier’s Mini-Markers; All correlations are significant at the p< .05 level.
