Table 5.

Mean census-weighted bootstrapped same-trait correlations of state-level personality, across four inventories within the SAPA2015 sample. Based on 1000 iterations of splitting the sample into two random halves and correlating the state scores from each half. Below the diagonal are raw correlations. On the diagonal are mean reliabilities. Above the diagonal are correlations adjusted for the reliabilities.
