Table 2.
The correlation matrix for all variables related to interoceptive beliefs, memory accuracy, metamemory beliefs, metamemory accuracy, the Personal Evaluation Inventory (PEI) and its subscales, and the dot estimation task from Study 2. Our primary interest was in factors that correlated with response on the Bodily Awareness Scale, which appears in bold. Individuals who believed they were more aware of their bodies, as measured by the Bodily Awareness Scale, also believed that they had better memories, as indicated by a significant correlation with the Proportion of High Confidence (CONF) responses. Cells that appear in gray represent correlations between measures of similar constructs (i.e., different measures of metamemory accuracy or different PEI subscales);
