Conscientiousness was the only personality trait that was linked to stationary connectivity patterns across large-scale networks after accounting for potentially confounding factors such as the remaining personality traits, age, sex, years of education, handedness, and intelligence. The colour of the lines connecting each pair of ‘nodes’ (large scale-networks) represents the statistical significance (−Log₁₀−p-value, yellow colour representing lower p-values: e.g. −Log₁₀(0.05) = 1.30 and −Log₁₀(0.01) = 2) of the negative associations found between conscientiousness scores and the “T”-index of each connection. The thickness of each line represents the effect sizes for each connection with thicker lines reflecting higher effect sizes. All associations shown survive a threshold of P < 0.05, correction for multiple comparisons using false discovery rate across all possible 105 connections (see Table 2).
