Adjusted model parameters: Nagelkerke R2 = 0.38, Cox & Snell R2 = 0.16, Model χ2 = 285.38, p <  0.001, Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2 = 6.17, p = 0.63. Reference categories are lower age, male gender, low education, not working, and lower levels of general self-efficacy, optimism, extraversion, and neuroticism
