Note. N = 662. Correlations reflect associations between factors extracted in “bivariate” trait-state-occasion models. Time-invariant (i.e., trait) factor correlations appear below the diagonal, and time-varying (i.e., occasion) residual factor correlations above the diagonal. For example, in a joint trait-state-occasion model of borderline personality disorder and Neuroticism, the correlation between the time-invariant factors—reflecting the perfectly stable components of these two constructs across the study timeframe—was .737. Thus, 15 bivariate trait-state-occasion models were estimated to compute the correlations presented here.
