CES-D: Centre for Epidemiological studies-Depression Scale; JTCI: The Junior Temperament and Character Inventory; NS: Novelty Seeking; HA: Harm Avoidance; RD: Reward Dependence; P: Persistence; SD: Self-Directedness; CO: Cooperativeness; ST: Self-Transcendence. For age, gender, and the evaluation of the Δ𝐹 statistic: ^∗∗∗𝑃≤.001, and ^∗∗𝑃<.01, and ^∗𝑃<.05. For the JTCI domains where Bonferroni adjustments were made on the critical α, ^∗∗∗∗𝑃<.0071.
