Notes: Personality States: E = State Extraversion (subcomponents: T = Talkative, A = Assertive), C= State Conscientiousness (subcomponents: O = Organization, I = Industriousness). All analyses were conducted using multilevel modeling, and the unstandardised beta weights are the fixed effects of the observer-rated goals predicting the observer-rated personality states in bivariate models. Observer ratings were the average of the three observers in the session.
