Note. Belonging uncertainty was only measured in fall 2016; therefore, row/column 2 correlations refer to fall 2016 data only. All other correlations reflect data combined across the three semesters. Fusion and belonging uncertainty scores were transformed into the percent of maximum possible (POMP) score on a 0–100 scale to account for variations in the measurement scales used. Personality traits were measured with the Big Five inventory. GPA = grade point average; SES = socioeconomic status.
