Table 2.

Zero-order correlation coefficients between the indices of self-control (NAS-50, NAS-40, SCS, C), general fluid intelligence (TAO, RAPM), and executive functions (CATT, COUNT, SST, N-BACK correct, N-BACK lures).

NAS-50, Self-control questionnaire, self-report version (Nęcka et al., 2016). NAS-40, Self-control questionnaire, informant version (Nęcka et al., 2016). SCS, Self-Control Scale (Tangney et al., 2004). C (NEO-FFI), Conscientiousness from the NEO-FFI questionnaire. TAO, Analogical Reasoning Test. RAPM, Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices. CATT (errors), Task switching, DV – the overall number of errors. COUNT (errors), Mental counters procedure, DV – the overall number of errors. SST (ssrt), Stop signal task, DV – stop signal reaction time. N-BACK (correct), Figural n-back task, DV – number of correct responses (n = 2). N-BACK (lures), Figural n-back task, DV – number of erroneous responses to lures (n = 1 or n = 3). p < 0.05 (two-tailed). ∗∗p < 0.01 (two-tailed).
