Correlation is significant at .05 level (2-tailed),
Correlation is significant at .01 level (2-tailed)
Pearson’s correlation was used for all continuous variables.
Point-Biserial Correlation was used for all correlations involving sex. The normality for all the dependent variables within each sex was checked and only positive affect was normally distributed in each sex. Thus, all dependent variables except positive affect were log-transformed and point biserial correlations were conducted again. There were no significant differences when comparing the original correlations with the correlations using log-transformed dependent variables. Therefore, the original correlations are presented.
Higher values on 1 to 5 scale for 5 items daily indicate greater frequency of that communication mode.
Higher values indicate greater presence of the trait on a daily basis. Stress exposure ranged from 0–5. Positive and negative affect each ranged from 11–55.
Higher values indicate higher self-reported stress reactivity on a daily basis, possible scores ranged from 0 to 15.
