ANPS profiles in relation to intrapersonal, interpersonal and emotion regulation variables in Sample 2. SD = Standard Deviation; ES = Effect Size (based on Hedge’s g); BDI-13 = Beck Depression Inventory short version; STAI-Y = Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Y; IRI = Interpersonal Reactivity Index; MAI = Multidimensional Anger Inventory; EPN31 = Positive and Negative Emotionality Questionnaire; TMMS = Trait Meta-Mood Scale. All p-values based on F statistic adjusted for Social Desirability. P-values for the comparisons across profiles should be interpreted as statistically significant if <0.017 due to Bonferroni correction.
