Sample Characteristics and Their Associations With Age, Sequence-trend, and Switch-points

Variable M (SD) or % r age r sq_trend r sq_switch
Age 49.91 (17.50) −.02 −.28**
Female 48.8% .03 −.07 .02
Non-Hispanic White 83.5% .20* −.19* −.07
Education level 4.93 (1.85) .04 .15 .21*
SF12 – Mental Health 48.45 (10.66) .25** −.21* −.08
SF-12 – Physical Health 50.84 (9.04) −.26** .09 .17
Subjective life position 57.19 (21.11) .66** .04 −.18*
Self-continuity 4.52 (1.48) .26** −.03 −.10
1-back (proportion correct) .91 (.07) −.21* −.06 −.01
2-back (proportion correct) .88 (.07) −.36** −.06 .00

Note: Associations with categorical measures show point-biserial correlations, all others are Pearson correlations. Education ranges from 1 = less than High School to 8 = graduate degree. rage = correlations with age; rsq_trend= correlations with sequence-trend; rsq_switch = correlations with switch-points.
