The associations observed between SES and personality are interpreted as the product of bidirectional influences over time.
“We interpret the associations observed between SES and personality as the product of bidirectional influences over time, consistent with life-course epidemiologic models of risk clustering (51) and nature-nurture interplay (52).”

Age-based studies of increasing suppression effects through adulthood give data on cumulative physiological load, in line with life course epidemiological models.
“Our age-based studies of increasing effects of suppressions through adulthood would give important data on cumulative physiological load, which is in line with life course epidemiological models (Ferraro & Shippee, 2009; Kuh et al., 2003).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
