Note. b = unstandardized regression coefficients. Daily predictors were centered within-persons. Note that lagged effects of both loneliness and self-control failures are negative, suggesting that higher values on one day are associated with lower values on the following day; since daily values were centered within-persons, we assume that this is a result of the “regression to the mean” effect (using noncentered values result in positive autoregressive effects; note that the cross-lagged effects are significant regardless of what centering is used).
