Note(s): N = 154–313, see Table 2 for exact N’s. Lower scores on the EWC reflect more severe mental health symptoms. Negative correlations were expected with DSM5 Cross-cutting, other mental health indices, and negative business outcomes

***p ≤ Bonferroni adjusted threshold .05/18 = 0.0028; **p ≤ 0.01; *p < 0.05

To be conservative in considering possible confounds, partial r’s are provided for significant EWC effects in cases where diagnostic or business variables were correlated with age at p < 0.01
