Note: effects with a p-value <.05 are presented in bold.
Between-person standardized coefficients were calculated using only between-person variance in impulsivity outcomes, whereas within-person coefficients were calculated using only within-person variance.
Standardized coefficients for these covariates were calculated using unstandardized predictors and standardized outcomes because these predictors are not meaningful when standardized.
Standardized coefficients for interaction terms were not reported as they are not more meaningful when standardized.
