Table 5.

Correlations (with 99.5% confidence intervals) for TUT rates from subjects in the intentionality (“Why”) condition, for intentional TUT rate, unintentional TUT rate, and proportion of all TUTs that were intentional, in the SART

Outcome variable	Intentional TUT rate	Unintentional TUT rate	Prop (Intent TUT / Total TUT)
SART DSSQ	r(219) = .23 [.04, .40]	r(219) = .35 [.17, .50]	r(213) = .00 [−.19, .19]
Executive Control	r(261) = −.08 [−.25, .09]	r(261) = −.13 [−.30, .04]	r(255) = .02 [−.15, .19]
Distractibility-Restlessness	r(199) = .09 [−.11, .28]	r(199) = .23 [.03, .41]	r(194) = −.01 [−.21, .19]
Pos.-Constructive Daydream	r(199) = .22 [.02, .40]	r(199) = .18 [−.02, .36]	r(194) = .09 [−.11, .28]

TUT task-unrelated thought, SART Sustained Attention to Response Task, Prop (Intent TUT / Total TUT) = proportion of a subject’s TUT reports that were intentional TUTs, DSSQ Dundee Stress State Questionnaire (post-task retrospective report of TUT frequency); Executive Control = factor scores from a confirmatory factor analysis of four cognitive performance measures (see text for details); Distractibility-Restlessness = z-score composites of seven questionnaire measures of Distractibility and Restlessness (see text for details); Pos.-Constructive Daydream = z-score composites of four questionnaire measures of Positive-Constructive Daydreaming (see text for details)
