Notes. All models control for exponential age trends and linear time-lag trends in effect sizes. E stands for extraversion. A stands for agreeableness. C stands for conscientiousness. N stands for neuroticism. O stands for openness. The Big Five variables were effects coded (see Methods section), and therefore the parameter estimates represent deviations from the average trend.
