Phenotypic associations between common EF, reported impulse control, the two super-factors of Openness and Conscientiousness and processing speed.
Speed | EF | IC | O | C | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Speed | 1.00 | .604 (.530, .677) | .145 (.028, .261) | .343 (.223, .463) | .190 (.081, .299) |
EF | 1.00 | .250 (.146, .353) | .432 (.256, .607) | .271 (.136, .406) | |
IC | 1.00 | .108 (−.059, .274) | .668 (.534, .802) | ||
O | 1.00 | .263 (.109, .418) | |||
C | 1.00 |
Note: Associations were calculated by entering all latent constructs into the model simultaneously; Speed = processing speed, EF = Executive Functioning; IC = impulse control; O = super-factor of Openness, C = super-factor of Conscientiousness; all significant estimates met the p < .001 threshold; the effect of age was controlled for by including age as a covariate in the model; all observed variables were residualized for sex prior model fitting.
