Notes: Personality States Extraversion (E), Conscientiousness (C). Extraversion Subcomponents: Sociable (S), Assertive (A). Conscientiousness Subcomponents: Organization (O), Industrious (I). The notation next to each goal reflects the hypothesized relationship to each subcomponent and the direction of this hypothesized relationship (e.g., S+ positively valenced relationship with the sociable subcomponent). All unstandardized beta coefficients were calculated through multilevel modeling, with one goal as a predictor variable and the trait or subcomponent as the outcome variable.
