The full models included all Big Five personality traits, age and sex.

Full models included all Big Five personality traits + Sex + Age, predictors were removed via backward elimination until all variables were significant (p < 0.05).

The full models included all Big Five personality traits, age and sex.

There was an error in the Results section: Figure 4 was omitted. Figure 4 and its corresponding information are provided below.

Figure 4 should be cited in the following sentence, at the end of the Results section, under “Intervention Outcomes”.

Furthermore, participants who scored high on neuroticism reported a greater decrease in stress after the intervention, F(1, 49) = 9.94, p = 0.003, Radj2 = 0.15 (Figure 4).

Figure 4 and its caption appear below.

Relationship between neuroticism scores and changes in stress after the 8-week period. The prediction was significant in the intervention group only (R2 = 0.17, p = 0.003).

Scatter plot showing the relationship between neuroticism and change in stress, with separate regression lines for control (blue) and intervention (red) groups. The intervention group shows a steeper negative correlation. Data points are dispersed with shaded confidence intervals around the lines.
