Note. Table 1a presents bivariate associations with each trait from models including each trait as an independent predictor; Table 1b presents specific associations with each trait adjusted for shared variance with the other traits from models including all traits as covariates; Table 1c presents associations with general personality pathology (GPP; i.e., a latent variable estimated from shared variance between maladaptive traits). Random intercepts at the between-person level were used to estimate average levels and the within-person residual variances were used to estimate variability. Within-person variability was adjusted for average levels by regressing the residuals on the random intercepts. Associations with averages and variability for each momentary construct were estimated in the same models. All models include age and gender as covariates. Point estimates are standardized regression coefficients; 95% credibility interval presented in parenthesis; bolded values indicate credibility interval does not contain zero. Dom = self dominant behavior; Warm = self warm behavior; Dom Other = perception of other’s dominance; Warm Other = perception of other’s warmth; NA = negative affect; PA = positive affect; Traits measured by Personality Inventory for DSM-5.
